BOURNE, M.A. [Eeceived December 13, 1892.] (Plate VI.) So little is known of the Entomostraca of Africa, that I gladly availed myself of the opportunity of examining a portion of sandy mud, brought by M r . Finn, of Brasenose College, Oxford, from the neighbourhood of Zanzibar, which was kindly supplied to me by Mr. F. E. Beddard. The result of m y search was rather disappointing, as I only succeeded in finding a few minute Copepoda, belonging to two species, which I now describe. Of these one is doubtfully a new species, being closely allied to Cyclops orientalis, Uljanin, from Turkestan. The other is a well-marked species of Can-thocamptus. In publishing a description of these two forms, I may take the opportunity of pointing out how much may be done by travellers and explorers in Africa in the matter of collecting freshwater Crustacea. These forms are easily collected and preserved, and from their generally minute size are easily carried. It is probable that the great lakes of the interior have a peculiar and interesting Crustacean fauna which would well repay collection. Those who have read Weismann's charming essay, ' Das Thierleben im Bodensee,' will recognize what a wide field of study is here open to the traveller and collector. Fam. HARPACTID^E.
