The experiments referred to in the following pages were carried out by the wish of the Director at the Plymouth Laboratory, between June, 1912, and February, 1913. They were undertaken with a view to keeping under observation some of the smaller zooplankton, and particularly the Copepoda, in order that they might be followed through the different stages of their life cycle. After a long series of disappointing results, the experiments were unavoidably interrupted at a time when apparently the chief obstacles to success had been located and largely overcome.
