Notes
Ninety seven species of rotifers belonging to 32 genera are reported from British Columbia and the Yukon Territory of Canada. Three species are new records for Canada, and 55 and 51 species, respectively, are new records for British Columbia and Yukon Territory. Several interesting species and some that exhibited morphological differences from the original descriptions are illustrated and critical taxonomic features of these species are discussed. The species composition is compared with that from other regions of Canada and points of interest in the distribution of species are noted.
