OF THE ANTWERP CRAG. 389 
subtruncate in front, broadly rounded behind. End view very broadly subovate, emar- 
ginate in the middle both at base and apex. Surface of the shell irregularly furrowed 
or undulated in a transverse direction, and marked with distant pittings, which have a 
tendency to follow the lines of the furrows. Length 3's inch (0°66 millim.). 
One specimen only of this very distinct species has occurred in the Sables moyens 
(zone 4 Bryozoaires).

Carapace, as seen from the side, subtrapezoidal, rather higher in front than behind ; 
height equal to about two thirds of the length; anterior extremity obliquely rounded ; 
posterior produced in the middle and excavated above ; superior margin rather concave, 
abruptly angular at each extremity, inferior nearly straight. Seen from above, the 
outline is boat-shaped, widest behind, tapering gently toward the front and abruptly 
behind. End view subtriangular, base broad and flat, apex obtusely rounded, sides 
excavated. Shell-surface uneven, rugose, often obscurely reticulated, the interstices 
being finely punctate ; a conspicuous rounded tubercle over the anterior, and two near 
the posterior hinge; a strongly marked longitudinal ridge runs along the valves just 
within the ventral margin. Length =’; inch (0°54 millim.). 
One valve only found in the “Sables moyens” (zone a Jsocardium cor).  C. limicola 
is tolerably common in the North Sea in a living state, and has been found in many 
Post-tertiary deposits in Scotland, and also in Canada.

Cythere abyssicola, G. O. Sars, Oversigt af Norges marine Ostr. p. 43. 
Carapace, as seen from the side, oblong, higher in front than behind ; height equal 
to about half the length; anterior extremity broadly rounded, posterior rounded but 
much narrower ; superior margin sloping rather steeply backwards, and twice sinuated, 
in front of and behind the middle; inferior margin rather deeply sinuated in the 
middle. Seen from above, the outline is irregularly oval and compressed, the extremi- 
ties being wide and truncated; the sides only slightly convex, and marked by one or 
two rounded protuberances. The substance of the shell is very thick and hard; the
