The Daphnia is classified with certain other Crustacea onaccount of the absence of true branchiae and the presence offoliaceous feet, which act as respiratory organs ; but \\\c Phyllopoda,^vhich are thus associated with the water fleas by a commonphysiology, have a different method of evolution. They undergotransformations, and one genus {Ncbalia), a species of which livesin the sea, are born as Nanplii and become Zoca before arri\ing atmaturity. The Phyllopoda have very numerous segments andlimbs, and these arc added to the bodies of the Nanplii, one afterthe other, from before backwards, and there is no .sharp line ofdivision between the different regions of the body, such as thethorax and abdomen. I^ritz Miiller considers them as zoca which 466 TRANSFORMATIONS OF INSECTS. have never attained that maturity which is observable in theDccapoda. The subdivision of the Crustacea called Efitom
