and, besides other Crustaceans — Macvurous, Bracliyurous, 

 and of doubtful affinities — he describes (pp. 30-40) and 

 figures (pi. V. figs 3-46) numerous Ostracoda, including : — 

 C^jpridinella, J. & K., 2 new species ; Cyiirldellina^ J. & K., 

 1 new species ; Cypridella^ L)e Koninck, 2 new species ; 

 Cypidina, ]\Jilne-Ed\vards, 2 new species ; Philomedes, Lill- 

 jeborg, 1 new species ; EvtomoconcJms^ M'Coy, 1 new species; 

 Entomis, Jones, 2 new species. All these have an exceed- 

 ingly close resemblance to the true Carboniferous species of 

 Britain and Belgium, and at first sight might in most in- 

 stances be taken for them. 



12. Two small specimens of a true Cypridinal form have 

 been met with in the Permian Limestone of Sunderland 

 (Monogr. Carbonif. Entom. 1874, p. 13, pi. ii. fig. 28) . They 

 closely resemble Cypridina primouva {iJajjhnia, M'Coy), in 

 the Carboniferous Limestone. (PI. XVIL fig. 5.) 



13. Having nothing definite to record as to the Cypridinids 

 that may have existed in the seas of the early Mesozoic 

 period, we arrive at the Upper Mesozoic series, certain 

 Cretaceous deposits of which, in Limbourg and Belgium, 

 yielded to the researches of the late M. J. A. H. Bosquet, of 

 Liege, some small, nue, and fragile specimens, which he 

 referred to l)e Koninck's Gyprella, because Milne-Edwards's 

 figure of Cypridina Beynaudi sliowed no beak and notch. 

 See ' M^moires de la Commission pour la Description de la 

 Carte G<^ologique de la Neerlande,' vol. ii. (1854), p. 124; 

 they had been referred to Cypridina in the Monogr. Cretac. 

 Entom., Pal. Soc. 1849, pp. 3 and 36.

 thickness. From the whitish Maestricht Chalk between Mont 

 St. Pierre and Petit Lanaye, and at Sichen, in Belgium.
