 186S. Cythere viridis, G. S. Brady — Mon. rec. Brit. Ostrac. , Trans. Linn. 

 Soc, vol. xxvi., p. 397, pi. xxviii., figs. 40-41, and 57-59, 

 pi. xxxviii., fig. 8. 

 I had for some time thought that this was the j'oung of C. lutea. and 



it is true that the young of the latter species is very like C. cyamos^ yet it 



has not quite the same form. vSars referred this species to the Cythere 



viridis of Muller, but I regard Miiller's .species as that which Prof. Brady 



used to name Loxoconcha elliptlca.

 fast Lough (S. M. M.). This is C. ptiliulda of Brady's monograph.
