From the standpoint of the pisciculturist, perhaps no class of animals outside the fashes themselves is so important and interesting as the ento- mostraca. It is a well known fact that these minute cruetacea form the entire food material of the young of some of our most important food fashes, and in many cases form a large part of the food of the adults. Ihey are universally distributed. Every stream, lake, pond, and pool has Its population of these minute creatures. Moreover they are present in some places in enormous numbers. In the deeper waters of our lakes the surface waters to a depth of about thirty feet fairly swarm with cope- pods. In limnetic collections there are always present some Cladocera, but the great bulk of the material in any lake will consist of two or three species of Diapfomns and as many of Cyclops. Inasmuch as the occurrence and abundance of animals is largely depeu- dent on their food supply, it will be seen that an accurate and thorou ^ MICHIGAN FISH COMMISSION-BULLETIN NO. 5, Collections mado by Dr. R. H. Ward in Soptember, 18'.>4, in Emmet and CheboyK'iu Counties, alou^ the '* Inland Route." Inasmuch as thest' collections were made for the most part, in the summer season, and more especial attention was paid to the larger bodies of water, the results of the examination cannot be considered as giving us a complete knowledge of the fauna of the State. A more careful examina- tion of the smaller lakes and of the stagnant pools would doubtless add some species to the list. Vet th(* number of those species would be small, and for the larger bodies of water the list as given in this paper is prob- ably very nearly complete. This becomes evident when one remembers how nearly identical are the fauna' of the deeper waters of our lakes. To such an extent is this true that one can prophesy (luite exactly what species will be found in a collec- tion from any of the lakes of this latitude. The collections from the deeper water will almost invariably give the following species: — Diaptomns orefionrnsis, Cycloi>^ f)revis])inosiit<, C. Li'uckarti iind C. Jluvi'dtilia. C. alhidiis and V. scrnilat)is may be present, but belong more properly to the littoral fauna. In the larger lakes, in addition to this list we may find Epischurn lacnslris. D.'-iplomns sirllis, 1). .Ishhindi, I), miniitiis, and LiiiinocdUmiifi niacrnrus are not commonly found except in the Great Lakes and in the bodies of water in direct connection with them; in the Great Lakes, too, C. piilchrllii.^ takes the place which C. hri'i^isinnosiis holds in the smaller lakes. I). Eeifiliardi is tiie only new species which I have found in the Michi- gan collections. As I have already remarked in a former paper ('93 p. 192) the species of Didpiomns are, in some cases, (juite limited in their distribu- tion, and apparently Didpionnis is much more susceptible to the influences of its environment than is Cj/clops. Very little is known of the life his- tories of the species of Diitpiomus, and it is possible that a more complete knowledge may lead to a reduction of the number of species. But, so far as I can see, all the forms described vary within comparatively narrow limits, and there is no evidence whatever to lead us to question the separa- tion of the forms. I have indicated, in the accompanying chart, the distribution of the species. It has not seemed necessary to indicate the character of the indi- vidual collections in Lake St. Clair and Lake Michigan as no particular significance is attached to such facts. The sketch maps will show most of the localities where the collections were made. It is interesting to note the greater richness of the copepod fauna> of our lakes as compared with those of the continent of Europe.

D. minutus is, perhaps, the most common of all the Diaptomi in the collections from Lake St. Clair and the Great Lakes. With D. sicilis and D. Afrhlandi it forms the great bulk of tlie Crustacea in the limnetic col- lections. While I have found it in one or two of the Wisconsin lakes, it, like the two preceding species, has not so far been found in any of the Michigan waters which do not have direct connection with the Great Lakes. The three species may be fairly considered as characteristic of the fauna of the Great Lakes. It is with considerable hesitation that I have considered Forbes's imper- fectus identical with minutus. One can not be certain of the identity of the two forms from the description given by Forbes, and yet from the localities which he gives for his variety, it seems very probable that the two are the same. He speaks of it as common in Lake Superior and Lake Michigan, and in some adjacent lakes, and in Lake Geneva. Inasmuch as D. miuutus is so common in the Great Lakes it is not at all probable that it has been overlooked by so accurate an observer as Professor Forbes, and as he reports impcrfectus as an abundant form, I think the probabili- ties are that imperfcctus is a synonym of minuius.

Plato I, figs. 1-4. The first segment of the cephalothorax is considerably shorter than the second. The first two pegments form nearly half the length of the cepha- lothorax. The last segment is armed behind with two very minute spines. The first segment of the abdomen of the. female is elongated, nearly equal in length to the remainder of the abdomen and the furca. It is dilated laterally and in front and bears two rather small lateral spines. The second segment is about one-third shorter than the third. The third segment is slightly shorter than the furca. The antennae reach the end of the furca. The right antenna of the male is swollen anterior to the geniculating joint; the antepenultimate joint has no appendage. The outer ramus of the fifth foot of the female is two-jointed. The third joint is represented by the customary two spines. The inner ramus is one-jointed; it is somewhat longer thaa the first joint of the outer ramus, and is armed at tip with minute setfi^ and two spines. In the right fifth foot of the male the basal joint is quadrangular, about one-half longer than broad. The length of the first joint of the outer ramus is about equal to its width. The second joint is elongate, concave on its inner margin; at about one-third of its length there is a minute spine on its inner margin; the rather long lateral spine is situated at about two thirds of its length. The terminal hook has a single abrupt angle at about one-half its length. The inner ramus is one-jointed and equals in length the first joint of the outer ramus. The left fifth foot of the male reaches a little beyond the middle of the second joint of the outer ramus. The basal joint is about as broad as long, and is somewhat shorter than the basal joint of the right foot. The first joint of the outer ramus is about as broad as long, its distal end con- siderably narrower than the proximal. The second joint is about twice as long as the first, and the tip is expanded into two finger-like processes, of which the outer is much the larger and is armed on its inner surface with a pad bearing minute setse. The inner ramus extends to rather less than one-half the length of the second joint of the outer ramus. Length of female, 1.1395 mm.; male, 1.0248 mm. This species, which is nearly related to D. orfnoncnsis, is yet readily dis- tinguished by the characters of the male fiftli foot. I found it in the collections from only three localities,— the North Lake on Beaver Island, Intermediate Lake, and Crooked Lake. I have named this species in honor of Professor Reighard who has, directly and indirectly, done so much to increase our knowledge of lacus- trine faunffi. II. fig. 5, pi. Br lakes.

I have very little doubt that, as stated by Herrick ('84, p. 131), the S('Oi>i(>phoi'(i r(((j(ivf< of Pickering is the same as l^J. lucnstris. The state- ment in regard to the armature of the abdominal furcte can apply to no other genus, and as only one species of Kpischuva has been found in the Great Lakes, there would seem to be little doubt as to the identity of Pick- ering's species. If then we follow the laws of priority as strictly as do some authors, we should throw out Forbes"s name. But I cannot think it wise when a name has been so long incorporated in our literature, and is founded on an accurate and easily recognized description, to throw it aside in favor of a name accompanied by a description which, it is true, probably applies to this .uiimal, but is manifestly inaccurate in some particulars, and may be in all. It is not necessary to give a detailed description of this species, as tliat Uas already been done by other authors, but, as very few figures of it have been published, it has seemed best to me to draw quite a number in order that they may serve for comparison of this genus with others, and of the various species of Epischin-a with each other. A few points in the anatomy, which have not been noted by others should be mentioned. Forbes has recently ('93, p. 255) called attention to the fact that the fourth abdominal segment of the male is without a process, and that the fifth bears two processes. The antenna' are 25-jointed. In the female, clavate sensory setaj are present on all segments except the 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, 20th, 2l8t, 22d and 24th. The 8th and lltli segments have each a short spine. The left antenna of the male is like those of the female except that the sensory setii' are much longer, particularly on the basal segments. The right antenna of the male is 22-jointed, with a hinge between the 18th and 19th segments. The 19th segment is formed by the union of the 19th, 20th and 21st of the typical antenna, and the 20th by the union of the 22d and 23d. The outer rami of the swimming feet are three- jointed, and the inner one-jointed. In all the feet the inner ramus bears five sette. In the first foot the first and second joints of the outer ramus have each one external and one internal seta. The terminal joint has six setie. In the second, tliird. and fourth feet, the first and second joints of the outer ramus have spines externally instead of seta- as in the first foot. The terminal joint has two short spines externally, a long terminal spine with its outer margin deeply serrate, and four aette on the internal margin.

For the description of L. mdrnii-Hs we must depend largely upon the elaborate description and figures of Nordqvist. Forbes ('91, p. 706) thinks that our form is sufficiently different from tue European to rank as a distinct variety. When preparing my former paper ('93) it did not seem to me that there was good reason for establish- ing a new variety. Recently I have made a more careful examination of the details of its structure, using material from Detroit Eiver, Lake Mic - igan, and Green Lake. So far as the specimens I have examined are con- cerned, the points of difference mentioned by Forbes ('91, p. 707) do not exist. It seems to me that the twenty-fifth antennal segment is clearly separated from the twenty-fourth, and not consolidated as stated by him. In all my specimens I find the hook like spines on the eighth and twelfth segments. Nordqvist and Forbes are in agreement in regard to the terminal teeth of the mandible, but Forbes finds one seta instead of the two figured by Nordqvist; in this respect my observations confirm those of Forbes. The accessory spines have been evident in my preparations. It would seem then, that unless L. macnims is susceptible of local variations — a highly improbable supposition- that Forbes's variety can not stand, for the only point of difference on which it rests is the existence of one seta on the mandible instead of two. The second joint of the second maxillipede differs slightly from Nord- qyist's figure, and I have accordingly figured it. (PI. V, fig. 5.) The difference appears to me. however, unimportant. It is impossible to tell whether our species may not diff'er from the European in the armature of the antenna, as that was not worked out in detail by Nordqvist. In regard to the sensory seta', he simply states that they are present on some of the segments, but does not state their number. In the female, clavate sensory seta^ are present on all joints except the 4th, 20th, 2l8t, 22d, and 24th. The seta' are distributed as foUov^s: the first joint has three; there are two on the 2d, 3d, 5th, 7th, 9th, 10th, 11th 13th to 19th inclusive, and 22d to 24th inclusive; the 4th, 8th, 12th 20th, — ^^^^ 12 MICHIGAN FISH COMMISSION-BULLETIN NO, 5. and 2l8t have one seta; the Oth has none; the 25th has four setie, one o: which is i)lumo8e; tlie 8th and 12th have, in addition to the ordinary anc sensory set jo a hook-like spine. The left antenna of the male is armed like the female antenna. The ri^ht antenna of the male is 22-jointed, the 19-21 being united ir one, and the 22d and 23d. The joint is between the 18th and 19th. The side of the 17th is produced into a blunt spine, and the 18th and 19th are armec on the inner margin with rows of minute spines. The number of the sensorj setaj is the same as in the left antenna and in the antenna of the female and not greater as stated by Nordqvist. In fact the differences in th( armature of the right and left antenniv are only apparent, and are occa sioned by the coalescence of the 19th-21st and the 22d and 23d joints. It has seemed best to me to figure the swimming feet and describe them in some detail, in order to get a basis of comparison with similar forms. In the first foot both the first and second basal joints are armed inter- nally with a plumose seta. Tlie first two joints of the exopodite have nc external spines; the terminal joint has two external spines, two apica setit— the outer spinulose on its outer margin — and three internal set* The terminal joint of the endopodite has one internal seta, two apical, anc three internal. The second, third and fourth feet have no seta on the second basal joint and the first and second joints of the exopodite have each an external spine. In all the feet except the first there are groups of two or three minute spines at the bases of the spines of the exopodite. The second and third feet are alike. The terminal joint of the exopo dite has four internal setiu, and the terminal joint of the endopodite haf two external seta' and four internal. The fourth foot is like the second and third except that the termina joint of the endopodite has three internal sette. The fifth feet have m eeive on the basal joints. The second joint of the exopodite in the femah is prolonged internally into a hook-like expansion. The exopodites of th( male are two jointed, the terminal joints having a peculiar constructioi more easily understood from the figure than from any written description The terminal joints of the endopodite in both male and female are arme( with two external, two apical, and two internal seta?.

The cephalothorax is oval, nearly as broad as long, with the lateral angles produced caudally. The first segment eij^uals two-thirds the total length of the cephalothorax, The antennio are 17- jointed, about as long as the cephalothorax, its seg- ments having the typical armature of the CijcJopvUv. The last two seg- ments have a smooth hyaline lamella, which in the last segment projects as a flat, blunt process beyond the end of the joint. The abdomen is of moderate length, the last segment being armed posteriorly with a row of fine spines. The furca is rather more than twice as long as its width. The lateral spine is situated near the end. Of the terminal seta>, the outer is slightly shorter than the inner, the second is about twice as long as the outer, and the third about three times as long.

A large, very robust form, of striking appearance because of its dee colors. The colors of the St. Clair specimens were as follows: antenn; antennules, swimming feet and furcal seta' dark blue, almost black. Tl caudal margins of the cepbalothorax have the same color. On each 8i( of the abdomen, and extending to the ends of the furc.j is a strip of tl same color but darker. Borders of the cephalothorax tinged with gree Oviducts white. The ovary is orange. To the naked eye it resembles closely in form, size, and color an Arr nurus with which it is found associated. This may be a case of protectii mimicry. This species was originally described by Herrick in 1882, and is me tioned by him in his succeeding reports of 1884 and 1887, but has be' noted by no other author. It was discovered by Professor Reighard the St. Ciair collections, and was worked out very thoroughly by him. is from his notes that the above description is taken. This seems to be a somewhat rare form in this region. I have found few individuals in Rush Lake, Wisconsin, and in Michigan, besides in t St. Clair collections, have found it in Twenty-Sixth Lake, Intermedia Lake and Susan Lake. Where it occurs it is easily detected because of large size and prominent colors.
