Chaelonotus enormis Stokes 1887. Length mm. Of the thirteen large spines three stand in the ante- rior row, four in the next, one at the extreme on each side in the next, three in the fourth row, and one at the center in the fifth row. On each side near the caudal process are two forked spines easily confused with those of the five rows which they much resemble. Trenton, New Jersey. Fig. 978. Cha

X S30. (After Stokes.) 30 (12) Caudal process branching or notched. A transverse row of large spines near its base. Body surface rough. Chaeturina Ward. Only one species known. Chaeturina capricornia (Metchinkoff) 1864. A swamp animal not yet reported from North America. 31 (i) No caudal processes. Posterior end simply rounded or lobed, in the latter case provided with long fine spines. Suborder Apodina. Reported from North America Family Dasydytidae. 'Iwo genera described for Europe. Single North American genus. ....... Dasydytes Gosse 1851. Several species listed from Europe. Only species reported from North America. Dasydytes saltitans Stokes 1887. Length """ Head three lobed, distinctly separated from body by slender neck, provided with two rows of cilia which vibrate alternately. Four long heavy spines arise on each side near the neck and cross the back obliquely. Two long straight spines, and two others long and curved, project from the posterior end. This species swims rapidly but also moves by sudden leaps to one side or the other, covering a distance equal to double its length or more in a single jump. Trenton, New Jersey. Fig. 979.
