Paradoxostoma orchadense, Brady and Rob. 

 Lervig Bay, a single specimen. 



Paradoxostoma rostratum, G. 0. Sars. 



This species occurred to Prof. Sars as very rare iu Oxfiord, Fin- 

 raark. In our monograph Professor Brady and myself have intro- 

 duced Sars's description and given an outline drawing from his 

 pencil. I have now found three specimens among weeds between 

 tide-marks at Vadso, East Finrnark. It is a very fine and distinct 

 species, and is remarkable for its pure white colour. 



Paradoxostoma productum, Brady & Norm. 



Lervig Bay, 25 fath. ; two dredgings in Stoksund, in the Ilar- 

 danger Fiord, in 80-126 fath. ; off Sartoro, in Bergen Fiord, 15-40 

 iath. 



Paradoxostoma flexuosum, G. S. Brady. 



Drobak, 30-100 fath. ; Lervig Bay, 3-25 fath. ; off Sartoro, Ber- 

 gen Fiord, 15-40 fath. ; Oster Fiord, 100-200 fath. 



Paradoxostoma injlexum, Brady & Norm., sp. n. 



Shell, seen from the side, siliquose ; greatly curved, greatest 

 height equal to two fifths of the length, behind the middle : ante- 

 rior half of much less height than the posterior, and bending down- 

 wards ; anterior extremity narrow, but well 

 and evenly rounded ; posterior margin much 

 broader, and also well and evenly rounded ; 

 dorsal margin strongly arched throughout, 

 without any angularity in any part, poste- 

 rior declination much more sudden than 

 the anterior ; ventral margin deeply con- 

 cave slightly in front of the middle, behind 

 the middle gently convex, the hinder por- 

 tion of the shell thus becoming much higher 

 than the anterior. Seen from above very 

 narrow, greatest width not more than half 

 the height, sides nearly flat, both extre- 

 mities very narrow, but the anterior more 

 acute than the posterior. Length *40 

 millim. 



Tide-marks, among weeds, Vadso, Fin- 

 mark. 



There are only two Ostracoda which 

 this very small species can be said to 

 approach at all in shape, and of which it Paradoxostoma injlexum. 

 might be suggested that it was the young. 



These are Paradoxostoma Normani. and SclerocMlus contortus. 

 With the young of the same size in these species it has been com- 

 pared, and it differs in toto.
