30 Mr. G.S. Brady on Ostracoda 
vestigations of the two forms have proved their identity*. 
Quoy and Gaimard’s species, as is well known, is from the 
Moluccas, and not from the Philippines. Gray ought there- 
fore, at any rate, to have given this habitat also. However, 
I do not make this observation in order to preserve a “ spe- 
cies,” but because I should be sorry to lose Owen’s beautiful 
name Huplectella aspergillum, which, in its specific denomina- 
tion, gives a simple translation of the name “ regadera,” in- 
vented by the people, and therefore certainly better charac- 
terizes this animal than the common Latin expression “ spe- 
ciosa,” or Gray’s English popular name “ Venus’s Flower- 
basket.”

IV.— Contributions to the Study of the Entomostraca. 
By GrorGe STEWARDSON Brapy, C.M.Z.S. Ke. 
[Plates IV. & V.] 
Unber this title I propose to give, from time to time, de- 
scriptions of new species and remarks on any other points of 
interest connected with the Entomostraca which may chance 
to come under my notice. 
No. I. Ostracoda from the Arctic and Scandinavian Seas. 
The specimens dealt with in the present paper have been 
derived from niud and sand procured by the captains of 
whalers from the Arctic seas, and from dredgings made on the 
coast of Norway by David Robertson, Esq., of Glasgow, 
to whom, in conjunction with the Rev. H. W. Crosskey, I 
am indebted for the opportunity of describing the following 
species. 
_ In the ‘Transactions of the Zoological Society’ I have 
already (vol. v. 1865) described several Arctic species which 
were obtained from Dr. Sutherland’s dredgings. But the 
nomenclature of that memoir requires rectification. I now 
give an amended list of the species there noticed :-— 
Hunde Islands, Baffin’s Bay, Cythere limicola (Norman) 
60-70 fathoms. (=C. areolata, Brady, loc. cit.). 
Cythere tuberculata (G.O. Sars). —— angulata? (G. O. Sars) 
emarginata (G. O. Sars). (= C. clathrata, var. nuda, 
costata, Brady. Brady, loc. cit.). 
septentrionalis, Brady. Cytheridea papillosa, Busqguet. 
* Dr. Gray, in the ‘ Proceedings of the Zoological Society’ for 1867, has 
not only acknowledged the distinctness of the species, but has formed of it 
a second section of the family Euplectellade. According to him, Alcyon- 
cellum speciosum (Q. & G.) constitutes a genus distinct trom EF. corbicula.
