No. 73. JANUARY 19 U. T. — Remarks on some Copepoda from the Falkland Islands collected by Mr. Rupert Vallentin, F.L.S. Bv Thomas Scott, LL.D., F.L.S. [Plates I. & II.] Several expeditions engaged in scientific research in the southern oceans have, from time to time, visited the Falkland Islands and collected samples of the fauna of tiiis far-distant British dependency; consequently, as the Rev. T. R. R. Stebbing remarks, ''the general fcatni'es of the zoology of the Falklands are tolerably well known ■'^"^. So far, how-ever, as the Crustacean fauna is concerned, marine species appear to have received rather more attention than those found in the fresh waters of the Islands. One of the later visits to these Islands was that of the Swedish South Polar Expedition in 1901-1903. Some fresh-water collections from the Falklands were brought home by this expedition, and the Copepoda contained in these were reported on by ])r. Sven Ekman in 1903 in Licferung 4, vol. v. of the account of the expedition. • Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., ^lay 1900, p. 517. Ann. d; Mag. X. Hist. Ser. 8. Vol. xiii. 1
