Notes

The author lists twelve species of the Rotatoria not previously recorded in New Zealand, most of them from the Wainuiomata River, Wellington. One rare species is recorded from Otago. It is suggested that some rotifers which have been described as forms or varieties of a species may be merely mictic and amictic females.
