Abstract
The author gives account of rotifers found at ten locations in the Republic of Korea, and elaborates some detail of specimens encountered with remarks and drawings. Thirty-seven different rotifer species were found, mostly belonging to the Order Monogononta. Twenty-two are new to the species list compiled by Yamamoto (1953). Keratella hiemalis was found for the first time in Asia. To date, one-hundred and two species of rotifers have been found in Korea.
