Abstract
third volume of Dr. Robert Gurney's monograph is now published, completing this excellent and most useful work. It contains the classification of the Cyclopoida and the parasitic forms derived from them. The Cyclopoida are perhaps the best known of all the fresh -water copepods and much work has been done on them, both practical and theoretical. They are, however, particularly difficult to elucidate, being extraordinarily variable, altering much in different localities, and confusion in nomenclature has been great.
