The Rotatoria of the Canadian Arctic Expedition,
1913-1918.
By H. K. HARKING,
Custodian of Rotatoria, U. S. National Museum.
When the Canadian Arctic Expedition was organized with Mr. James
Murray as oceanographer and marine biologist, all students of the rotifers
looked forward to a considerable increase of our knowledge of the group and
hoped for a repetition of his success in the Antarctic as biologist of the Shackle-
ton Expedition. These expectations were frustrated through his death following
the loss of the Karluk and the career of an enthusiastic naturalist 'and tireless
worker was brought to an untimely end. No other member of the expedition
was able to make special collections of rotifers, but the general plankton collec-
tions made by the marine biologist of the southern party, Mr. Frits Johansen,
contained a considerable number of rotifers, which were assigned to the writer
for a report. Some collections made by Mr. J. M. Jessup while serving on
the Alaskan Boundary Survey have been included, as they belong to the same
faunal area and add somewhat to our scanty knowledge of the distribution
of the Rotatoria in the Arctic. Virtually all that we know on this subject
is to be found in Bergendal's Zur Rotatorienfauna Gronlands (1892), and the
value of this is somewhat minimized by his unfamiliarity with the group prior
to his visit to Greenland.
While the species reported on here are not very numerous, 64 in all, they
furnish additional, even if superflous, evidence that climate is not directly a
factor in rotifer distribution. Four new species are described, among which a
pelagic Synchaeta is of special interest, as it is an addition to the extremely
small number of rotifers known to exist in the open ocean in water of normal
salinity. The total absence of the genus Brachionus, so abundant elsewhere,
is noteworthy; Bergendal mentions two species of this gemis from Greenland,
but his notes on these forms make it somewhat doubtful whether he really
found any Brachinoids.
I am indebted to Mr. Frank J. Myers, of the American Museum of Natural
History, New York City, for drawing the plates accompanying this report.
ORDER PLOIMA.
FAMILY NOTOMMATID^E.
Notommata copeus Ehrenberg.
A few specimens of this species were collected by Jessup in lakes on Old Crow
river flats, 55 miles north of New Rampart House, on July 10, 1911.
Notommata cyrtdpus Gosse.
Several specimens occurred in a collection from a pond near new Rampart
House, at the International Boundary and Porcupine river, made by Jessup
on June 12, 1911.
Proales sordida Gosse.
A few specimens in a collection made by Johansen among mosses and algae
from a pond at Chantry island, Bernard haitcur, Eclphin and Union strait,
on June 17, 1916.
4 E Canadian Arctic Expedition, 1913-18
Diaschiza forficata (Ehrenberg).
Diaschiza caeca DIXON-NUTTALL and FREEMAN, Journ. Royal Micr. Soc.,
1903, p. 134, pi. 4, fig. 11.
Abundant in a collection made by Johansen from a pond on the ridge at
Bernard harbour, on July 3, 1916.
Diaschiza gracilis (Ehrenberg).
Common among algae growing on stones in river bed at Bernard harbour,
August 16, 1915; abundant in ponds on the ridge at Bernard harbour, July
3, 1916. Both collections were made by Johansen.
Diaschiza gibba (Ehrenberg).
In a collection made by Johansen from ponds on the ridge at Bernard
harbour, July 3, 1916, rare. In Jessup's collections from a muskeg lake, 28
miles north of New Rampart House, June 25, 1911, rare; lakes on Old Crow
river flats, 40 miles north of New Rampart House, July 3, 1911, few; lakes
along the International Boundary, 48 miles north of New Rampart House,
July 7, 1911, few; pools at Fort Yukon, May 24, 1912, rare.
Dicranophorus forcipatus (Miiller).
Diglena forcipata HUDSON and GOSSE, Rotifera, 1886, vol. 2, p. 50, pi. 19,
fig. 2.
Collected by Johansen among algae growing on stones in the river bed at
Bernard harbour, August 16, 1915, few; by Jessup from lakes on Old Crow
river flats, 40 miles north of New Rampart House, July 3, 1911, few. The
trophi of these Arctic specimens have only five large, relatively blunt, teeth
in each ramus, while the typical form has eleven or twelve. It is possible
that they may represent an undescribed species ; the partly contracted material
was not in such a condition as to make this clear.
Encentrum algente, new species.
Plate I, figs. '1, 2.
The body is elongate and very slender, almost vermiform; the integument
is soft and flexible and the animal highly contractile.
The head is small and cylindric, its diameter somewhat less than that
of the abdomen, from which it is separated by a slight constriction at the level
of the gastric glands. The abdomen is cylindric nearly its entire length; pos-
teriorly it is slightly reduced at its junction with the foot, which has two joints
of nearly equal length. The toes are short, about one twentieth of the entire
length, blade-shaped and slightly decurved, with slender, acute points.
The corona is terminal; the lateral, marginal cilia are somewhat longer
than the rest and form rudimentary auricles. The dorsal antenna is a small,
ciliated pit in the normal position; the lateral antennae are on the posterior
fourth of the abdomen.
The trophi are forcipate and of a rather unusual type. The rami are of the
normal lyrate form, terminating in a strong, pointed tooth; on the inner edge,
about mid-length, there is an additional fairly large, pointed tooth. The
fulcrum is unusually well developed, its length being fully equal to the length
of the rami. The unci are aberrant; a single, short and robust tooth, hinged
to the ramus at mid-length on a knob-like epiphysis, appears to represent the
uncus proper; it is connected to the manubrium through a rather slender bar,
enlarged at the posterior end, and nearly as long as the tooth itself. The
Rotatoria E 5
manubria are long and strongly curved, so that their posterior ends meet in the
median line. The bar intervening between the uncus and manubrium is prob-
ably only a local sclerification of the walls of the mastax, developed in response
to a specialization of the typical forcipate trophi. A very similar structure
is found in Encentrum ricciae Harring; comparison may be made with Encen-
trum ( = Diglena) hofsteni de Beauchamp, which shows a simpler stage of the
same development. The unci and the supplementary piece are no doubt
closely joined to the rami, the several pieces moving together virtually as a
unit.
The oesophagus is long and slender. The gastric glands are elongate
oval and fairly large; they open into the stomach very close to the junction
with the oesophagus. There is no constriction between the stomach and
intestine. The ovary is fairly large and of somewhat irregular outline. A
small bladder is present. The foot glands are pyriform and rather small; no
mucus reservoir is present.
The ganglion is elongate saccate; no retrocerebral organ or eyespots are
present.
Total length 360M; toes, 22U; trophi, 52M.
This species was found in abundance in a collection made by Johansen
among algae in a brackish lagoon west of Martin point, on the arctic shore of
Alaska, on July 28, 1914.
FAMILY BRAGHIONID^:.
Platyias quadricornis (Ehrenberg).
Nbteus quadricornis HUDSON and GOSSE, Rotifera, 1886, vol. 2, p. 121.
pi. 28, fig. 5.
A few specimens occurred in a collection from lakes on Old Crow river
flats, 80 miles north of New Rampart House, visited by Jessup on July 11, 1911.
Keratella quadrata (Muller).
Anuraea aculeata HUDSON and GOSSE, Rotifera, 1886, vol. 2, p. 123, pi. 29
% 4.
This species is widely distributed in the Arctic; it was found in the follow-
ing localities: among algae in a brackish lagoon west of Martin point, arctic
Alaska, July 28, 1914; in freshwater plankton from the lake south of Bernard
harbour, November 28, 1915; May 6 and 7, -May 21, and June 12, 1916; all
collections were made by Johansen. In Jessup's material it occurred in a
small pool near the International Boundary line, lat. 69° 20' N., long. 141° W.,
July 23, 1912, and in a slough of Old Crow river, near New Rampart House.
Keratella cochlearis (Gosse).
Anuraea cochlearis HUDSON and GOSSE, Rotifera, 1886, vol. 2, p. 124, pi.
29, fig. 7.
Not common in the Arctic; a few specimens were collected by Johansen
in the lake south of Bernard harbour, May 21 and June 12, 1916; by Jessup
in a pool near the Boundary line, lat. 69° 20' N., July 23, 1912, and in a slough
of Old Crow river, near New Rampart House, August 7, 1912.
Notholca striata (Muller).
This is the most abundant and widely distributed rotifer in the Arctic;
it was collected by Johansen in a brackish lagoon at Martin point, Alaska,
July 28, 1914; in the river-bed at Bernard harbour, August 16. 1915; ponds
24058—2

Collected by Johansen in a brackish lagoon west of Martin point, arctic
Alaska, July 28, 1914; abundant in the lake south of Bernard harbour, Novem-
ber 28, 1915; February 15, May 21 and June 12, 1916.
FAMILY EUCHLANHXE.
Mytilina ven trails (Ehrenberg).
Salpina macracantha HUDSON and GOSSE, Rotifera, 1886, vol. 2, p. 84,
pi. 22, fig. 6.
In Jessup's collections from a pond near New Rampart House, at the Inter-
national Boundary and Porcupine river, June 12, 1911; lakes on Old 'Crow
river flats, 40 miles north of New Rampart House, July 3, 1911; lake 48 miles
north of New Rampart House, July 7, 1911.
Mytilina mucronata (Muller).
Salpina mucronata HUDSON and GOSSE, Rotifera, 1886, vol. 2, p. 83, pi. 22,
fig. 1.
A few specimens collected by Jessup in lakes on Old Crow river flats, 40
miles north of New Rampart House, July 3, 1911.
Euchlanis dilatata Ehrenberg.
This species does not appear to be common in the Arctic; it was collected
by Johansen among algae growijig on stones in the river at Bernard harbour,
on August 16, 1915, and in a pond at Chantry Island, Bernard harbour, on
June 17, 1916; in Jessup's material it occurred in fair numbers in a collection
from lakes on Old Crow river flats, 60 miles north of New Rampart House,
on July 11, 1911.
Euchlanis pellucida, new species.
Plate 2, figs. 1-5.
The , corona agrees with that of other species of the genus. The body is
(teiradiate in cross section and has a high dorsal keel and broad, lateral, wing-
Lke expansions. The ventral plate is nearly circular, slightly constricted
anteriorly at the opening for the head; it is joined directly to the lateral plates
without the intervention of a longitudinal sulcus as in other species of the
genus. The foot is obscurely two-jointed; two long setae project from the
dorsal side of the first foot joint. The toes are long, slender and nearly straight,
slightly enlarged posteriorly, and end in rather blunt points; their length is
more, than one fifth of the length of the body.
Rotator ia E 7
The dorsal antenna is very large in diameter and obliquely truncate;
it bears a small tuft of sensory setae in a shallow, central depression. The
lateral antennae are in the normal position.
The mastax, stomach, intestine, ovary and bladder are normal. The large
retrocerebral sac is slightly opaque at the posterior end and without any median
notch.
The width of the median and lateral ribs or keels is variable, as shown in
figs. 3-5, plate 2. The lateral ribs usually project straight out from the body
or slightly downwards; the form with strongly upcurved ribs is not common.
Total length 500-800M; length of lorica, 300-480^; width of lorica, 270-
430M; length of toes 90-140M.
This species has been known to the writer for some time from many locali-
ties in the United States; it was collected by President Birge, of the University
of Wisconsin, and Mr. Juday, of the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History
Survey, in ponds and bayous of the Mississippi river in southern Louisiana;
by Mr. Frank J. Myers, around Atlantic City, New Jersey, and in Polk county,
Florida; by Mr. Myers and the writer in sphagnum bogs and ponds throughout
Vilas and Oneida counties, Wisconsin. It was common in a collection made
by Jessup in lakes on Old Crow river flats, 40 miles north of New Rampart
House, on July 3, 1911. The presence of this species in the Arctic is of no special
significance, as the collections listed above show that it is widely distributed;
it seems, however, to be limited to regions with very soft, non-calcareous waters,
where it often occurs in great abundance.
Euchlanis pellucida looks superficially very much like E. triquetra, but
it is considerably larger and readily distinguished from the latter by the absence
of the lateral sulcus.
Euchlanis deflexa Gosse.
This species, which is ordinarily considered quite rare, was common in
Jessup's collections: from a pond near Yukon river, Yukon Territory, May 26,
1911; pool at White Horse, Yukon Territory, June 7, 1911; lakes on Old Crow
river flats, 35 miles north of New Rampart House, June 23, 1911; lakes on
Old Crow river flats, 40 miles north of New Rampart House, July 3, 1911; two
lakes on Old Crow river flats, 55 miles north of New Rampart House, July 10,
1911; pools at Fort Yukon, May 24, 1912.
Euchlanis triquetra Ehrenberg.
Collected in abundance by Jessup in lakes on Old Crow river flats, 40 miles
north of New Rampart House, July 3, 1911; two lakes on Old Crow river flats,
55 miles north of New Rampart House, July 10, 1911; pools at Fort Yukon,
May 24, 1912, and in a slough of Old Crow river, near New Rampart House,
August 7, 1912.
Euchlanis eoropha Gosse.
A few specimens of this comparatively rare species were collected by
Jessup in lakes on Old Crow river flats, 40 miles north of New Rampart House,
July 3, 1911, and in a small muddy pool 25 miles north of New Rampart House,
July 17, 1911.
Lecane ephestra, new species.
Plate 3, figs. 1, 2.
The outline of the lorica is slightly ovate; the anterior margins of the
dorsal and ventral plates are coincident and straight. The anterior spines
are very short and rather stout. The dorsal plate is broadly elliptic and rounded
posteriorly; it is without markings. The ventral plate is considerably narrower
24058— 2i
8 E Canadian Arctic Expedition, 1918-18
than the dorsal and nearly parallel-sided; the margins are ill-defined and no
longitudinal sulci are present. The markings are confined to the central area
of the ventral plate; the transverse fold is well marked. The posterior segment
of the body is rounded and projects very slightly beyond the dorsal plate.
The first foot joint is narrowest at the posterior end; the second foot joint
is large and subsquare; it projects beyond the lorica. The coxal plates are
obtusely triangular, with their apices close to the second foot joint. The toes
are long and slender; the outer edges are very slightly curved; a small claw is
present, excavate on the inner margin.
Total length 125/i; length of dorsal plate 84/*, width 88/1; length of ventral
plate 90ju, width 60ju; width of anterior points 54/x; length of toes including
claws 3o*M, length of claw 6/z.
Lecane ephestra was collected by Jessup in a muskeg lake, 28 miles north
of New Rampart House, on June 25, 1911; lakes on Old Crow river flats, 40
miles north of New Rampart House, on July 3, 1911; ponds 48 miles north of
New Rampart House, on July 7, 1911; two lakes on Old Crow river flats, 55
miles north of New Rampart House, on July 10, 1911; it has been collected
in the United States by Mr. Frank J. Myers around Atlantic City, New Jersey,
and by Mr. Myers and the writer in Vilas and Oneida counties, Wisconsin.
Lecane mira Murray.
Cathypna mira MURRAY, Journ. Royal Micr. Soc., 1913, p. 553, pi. 22, fig. 3.
Abundant in a collection made by Jessup in lakes on Old Crow river flats,
40 miles north of New Rampart House, July 3, 1911 ; also in lakes 48 miles north
of New Rampart House, July 7, 1911, and two lakes on Old Crow river flats,
55 miles north of New Rampart House, July 10, 1911.
Lecane ligona (Dunlop).
Cathypna ligona DUNLOP, Journ. Quekett Micr. Club, ser. 2, vol. 8, 1901,
p. 29, pi. 2, figs. 4-6.
A few specimens of this rare species were collected by Jessup in lakes on
Old Crow river flats, 40 miles north of New Rampart House, July 3, 1911, and
in two lakes on Old Crow river flats, 55 miles north of New Rampart House,
July 10, 1911.
Lecane hornemanni (Ehrenberg).
Cathypna hornemanni MURRAY, Journ. Royal Micr. Soc., 1913, p. 349, pi.
16, fig. 26.
Collected by Johansen among algae growing on stones in the river bed at
Bernard harbour, August 16, 1915; by Jessup in lakes on Old Crow river flats,
40 miles north of New Rampart House, July 3, 1911.
Lecane jessupi, new species.
Plate, 3 figs. 3, 4.
The outline of the lorica is slightly ovate, truncate posteriorly and the
anterior margin cuspidate. The dorsal plate is ovate, rounded posteriorly and
slightly narrower than the ventral plate, which is somewhat elliptic. The
anterior margin of the dorsal plate is nearly straight; it is slightly convex for
the greater portion of its width and excavate at the lateral cusps; the anterior
margin of the ventral plate is lunate. There are no markings on either dorsal
or ventral plate; the lateral sulci are deep. The lorica is strongly compressed
dorso-ventrally.
Rotatoria E 9
The posterior segment of the body is roughly trapezoidal in oultline and
cuspidate at the posterior angles; the margin is convex in the median portion
and has a slight concavity at the angles. There is a well marked constriction
at the junction of the ventral plate and the posterior segment. The coxal
plates are semi-ovate.
The first foot joint is well marked and widest posteriorly; the second foot
joint is nearly square. The toes are short, cylindric for one half their length
and end in acute, conical points.
Total length 126 /z, length of lorica lOS/*; length of dorsal plate 93^; width
13 //; width of ventral plate 96 /*; width of anterior points 58 ju; length of toes
27 /JL.
Lecane jessupi had some resemblance to L. brachydactyla (Stenroos), which
is shown on plate 3, figs. 5, 6, for comparison. The differences are fairly evident:
L. brachydactyla has anterior spines and a straight, somewhat flexible dorsal
margin, a double-curved ventral margin and the posterior segment is very
simple in outline. L. jessupi was collected by Jessup in lakes on Old Crow
river flats, 40 miles north of New Rampart House, on July 3, 1911; it was
not abundant.
Lecane luna (Miiller).
Cathypna luna HUDSON and GOSSE, Rotifera, 1886, vol. 2, p. 94, pi. 24, fig. 4.
Apparently not common in the Arctic; it was collected by Jessup from two
Fakes on Old Crow river flats, 55 miles north of New Rampart House, on July
10, 1911, and ponds on Old Crow river flats, 60 miles north of New Rampart
House, on July 11, 1911.
Lecane ungulata (Gosse).
Cathypna minnesotensis MURRAY, Journ. Royal Micr. Soc., 1913, p. 345,
pi. 13, fig. 18.
A few specimens in a collection made by Jessup from two lakes on Old Crow
river flats, 55 miles north of New Rampart House, on July 10, 1911.

Synchaeta oblonga Ehrenberg.
Abundant in collections made from the lake at Bernard harbour by Johansen
on May 6 and 7, 1916; same lake south of Bernard harbdur, May 21, 1916.
Synchaeta johanseni, new species.
Plate 1, fig. 3.
The body is fairly slender, bell-shaped and very transparent. Its greatest
width, about mid-length, is one third of the total length. The foot is well
marked off from the body, large at the base and tapers gradually to the very
small toes ; its length is one fourth of the length of the body. The head is tri-
angular and the auricles powerful; on the median line, between the anterior
pair of tactile bristles, there is a tubular sensory organ as in S. vorax Rousselet.
The dorsal antenna is in the normal position; the lateral antennae are near the
posterior end of the body and well towards the ventral side; they are slender
tubules, armed with a minute tuft of setae. The foot glands are very small.
The form and position of the eyespot could not be made out from the preserved
material.
Total length 350 ju; width of body at mid-length 120 ju; length of foot
70 //; length of toes 7 ju-
This species occurred in large numbers in a surface collection made by F.
Johansen on August 23, 1914, at station 36, off Cape Lyon, in Amundsen gulf.
Synchaeta johanseni is closely related to S. vorax Rousselet, from which it
differs in the more slender body, longer and stouter foot, very small foot glands
and minute toes, as well as in the position of the lateral antennae. Its presence
in Amundsen Gulf is of the greatest interest, as up to the present only two species
of rotifers, Synchaeta atlantica and Trichocerca ( = Rattulus) henseni, are known
from oceanic waters; these were both found by Zelinka in the collections of the
German Plankton Expedition from the Atlantic ocean, south of Iceland. While
it would perhaps be incorrect to call Amundsen Gulf an ocean, the conditions
where the collection was made are oceanic, at least as far as salinity and absence
of admixture of fresh water are concerned; there are no rivers of any consider-
able volume discharging near Cape Lyon, and Mr. Johansen informs me that
few of the rivers flowing into the Arctic ocean carry much water in the summer.
How to account for the presence of this rotifer at a single station and its absence
everywhere else is a problem for which no solution can be offered; it may be
noted that the collection contained virtually no other zooplankton, and it is
possible that the absence of enemies may be an important factor in the main-
tenance of this rotifer in such a circumscribed area.
