ROTATORIA. 
57. Hudson, C. T. On Four New Species of the Genus Floscidaria, and 
Five other New Species of Rotifera. J. R. Micr. Soc. (2) v. 
pp. 608-614, pi. xii.

Plate (60) thus arranges the fresh-water Rotifera in families : Tubico- 
larina , Philodinaa, Polyarthrda (Triarthra terminalis , sp. n.), Hydatinda 
{Hertwigia volvocicola, sp. n.), Macrodactylea , Loricata {Brachionus bidens 
and B. decipiens, spp. nn.), and Asplanchnaa. He deals in detail with 
the systems of organs, and especially describes the males where known; 
the Rotatoria appear to be allied to Annelids, but differ in some particu¬ 
lars from the trochophore.
