Abstract

SOME four years ago, we1 had the pleasure of recording in NATURE the occurrence of the freshwater medusa, Limnocnida rhodesiœ", from new localities that increased its southern range in Africa. In the present communication we wish to give some details regarding the finding of the freshwater hydromedusa, Craspedacusta sowerbii, in the Province of Quebec, Canada, these being the first records of its occurrence in Canada, so far as can be ascertained.
