84 ME. THOMAS SCOTT OlS" THE 



ventral margin nearly straight ; anterior end narrowly rounded^ 

 posterior subangular. Seen from above ovate, the sides evenly 

 curved ; ends slightly acuminate, or forming an acute angle ; 

 width scarcely equal to half the length. Seen from the end^ 

 somewhat triangular, with the underside (the base of the triangle) 

 slightly oblique. Surface of the shell smooth, white, with scat- 

 tered opaque circular markings. Length "9 mm. 



A single dead specimen was dredged in West Bay, Cape Flora^ 

 at a depth of 2 to 10 fathoms, on July 2nd, 1897. I only 

 provisionally ascribe this Ostracod to Fontocypris, for without 

 the acimal it is hardly possible to determine the genus it may 

 belong to. 



Genus Ctthere, Milller, 1781. 



Cttheee MAEGiifATA, Norman. 



1862, Cytheve marginata, Norman (56), p. 47, pi. 3. figs. 10-12. 



Dredged one mileoff Cape Plora, in 15 fathoms, September lOth,. 



1896. This has been recorded from Spitzbergen, Norway, and 

 from various British localities. 



Ctthere limicola, Norman. 



1865. Cythere limicola, Norman (58), p. 20, pi. 6. figs. 1-4. 



Dredged oif East Glacier, Cape Plora, iu 30 fathoms, July 21st,. 



1897. This was a somewhat rare species in the Pranz-Josef 

 Land collection ; it is also one of the less common of the British 

 species. It has been recorded from BafiS.n's Bay by Dr. Brady,- 

 and from Norway by G. 0. Sars. 



Ctthere globulifeea, G. S. Brady. 



1868. Cythere globulifera, Brady (12), p. 406, pi. 31. fig. 42. 



This species was also rare in the collection, one or two speci- 

 mens only having been observed. Dr. Norman records it from 

 Norway, and Prof. Brady from Spitzbei'gen. As a recent species 

 it is rare in the British seas, but is less rare as a post-tertiary 

 fossil. It was taken off East Glacier with the last. 



Ctthere cluth^, Brady, CrossJcey, 4" Bobertson. 



1874. Cythere duthcB, Brady, Crosskey, & Robertson (16), p. 153, pi. 13, 

 figs. 16, 17. 



This was also a rare species ; it was taken off East Glacier, in 

 30 fathoms, on July 21st, 1897. C. cluthce was first described 

 from fossil specimens, but has since been obtained as a recent
