One form, Lerneecera cyprinacea^ Figs 98 and 99,occurs in freshwater and is a frequent parasite on fishes. It attaches itselfby peculiar sucker-tentacles to the gills, fins and surface, and is a very fre-quent parasite on river and pond fishes, of such size as to be easily seen. / Argulid^;. These Copppods are known as Carp-lice, though theyhave almost all the freshwater fishes and amphibia as hosts. Of the threegenera Argulus, Chonopeltis and Dolops, 42 species have been recognized, 152 AILMENTS AND DISEASES mostly of the first-named genus; of which some are marine and othersfreshwater forms.
