Extract

Habitat and Record. The animal under consideration, a parasitic member of the Copepoda, and belonging to the family Lernaeopodidae, occurs commonly on the males, and much less frequently on the females, of Scyllium canicula. The point of fixation is just outside the cloaca, between the pelvic fins, the parasite remaining attached permanently by the second maxillae to the tissues of the host, and occasionally even to the claspers, on their sides, preferably in the groove. I have several times found as many as six specimens on one host (Fig. 1), while three or four is a usual number.
