In Brancliipus (Fig. Ill), which is common in roadside pools and in ponds in the cooler parts of the year, there is no carapace. The Phyllopods swim on their backs. Apiiis is remarkable for having 47 segments in all, and 60 pairs of limbs; certain segments bearing as many as six pairs of limbs. All the.
