Abstract
IN the course of picking out copepods for experiments on their feeding, respiration and other activities, I have made a number of incidental observations on the manner of pairing in four species of calanoids (Centropages hamatus, Temora longicornis, Eurytemora velox and Acartia clausi), which so far as I know has previously been described in only one calanoid genus, Diaptomus 1.
