Mr. F. Chapman on Ostracoda 



by Messrs. Jones and Sherborn from the London Clay of 

 Piccadilly (Sherborn and Chapman coll.). In the Gault of 

 Folkestone it occurred in the washings from zones iii., v., x., 

 and xi.

This variety was originally described from Gault specimens. 

 At first sight it is perhaps difficult to separate this variety 

 from those varieties of Cythere Koninckiana, Bosquet, which 

 have a weak ornamentation ; the surface of the carapace in 

 C. Harrisiana, var. reticosa, is, however, merely pitted, whilst 

 C. Koninekiana has a raised mesh-like ornament. 



C. Harrisiana, var. reticosa, is represented in the series of 

 Ostracoda from Swaffham by one valve only.

 figs. 7 a-c; Jones and Hinde, 1890, Suppl. Mon. Cret. Entom. p. 18, 

 pi. i. figs. 35, 36. 



The specimens from Swaffham, of which five valves were 

 found, are somewhat smaller than those found in the Gault 

 of Kent and Surrey, but the surfaces of the valves are charac- 

 teristically marked with the tessellated ornamentation and 

 with the low pyramidal elevation.
