Abstract
SUPPLEMENTING his report on the Doliolids (see NATURE of July 21,1934) Prof. Garstang now deals with the Appendicularians (Report on the Tunicata. Part 2, Copelata. Prof. W. Garstang and Dr. Elizabeth Georgeson. British Antarctic (Terra Nova) Expedition, 1910. Natural History Report. Zoology. 4, No. 8, 1935. British Museum (Natural History), price Is. Qd.). These are from the Atlantic, South Pacific, north-west of New Zealand and the Antarctic, and are all Oikopleurids. Out of 2,000 specimens from thirty-four stations, not less than 1,900 belong to the two species 0. longicauda, dominating the warm waters of the Atlantic and South Pacific, and 0. valdivice, dominating the Antarctic waters. 0. longi -cauda is of world-wide value as a warm-water indicator, and its dominance in the Atlantic and South Pacific samples and absence in the antarctic stations bears this out.
