Schmankewitch and Bateson have shown that there is a certain relation between the salinity of the water in which Artemia salina occurs and the condition of the anal lobes, specimens from denser waters having on the whole fewer setae ; the relation is, however, evidently very complex, and further evidence is wanted before any more definite statements can be made. In the Apodidae the anal lobes have the form of two jointed cirri, often of considerable length ; in A2ms the anus is terminal, but in Lepidurus (Fig. 4, B) the dorsal part of the telson is prolonged backwards, so as to form a plate, on the ventral face of which the anus opens, much as in the Malacostraca. In the Limnadiidae (Fig. 4, C) the telson is laterally com-.
