OSTRACODA FROM FUNAFU‘T, 425 
This form seems to be related to C. stolonifera, G. S. Brady *, 
but differs in the shape of the valve, which in the latter is 
oblong, with a much-produced infero-posteal extremity. The 
ornamentation is on the same general plan, but in C. phylloides 
it is much more delicate. The carapace of C. phylloides is much 
more tumid and rounded in section than that of C. stolonifera. 
C. phyiloides was found in Sample no. 3 of the ‘ Penguin’ 
soundings round Funafuti—lat. 10° 12’ 53’ S.; long. 178° 52’ E. ; 
Globigerina-ooze, 2715 fathoms.

Cythere fortyficata, G. 5. Brady, 1880, Rep. Chall. Exped., Zool. pt. iii. 
p. 79, pl. xxi. figs. 1 a-d, 
This species was originally recorded trom the mid-Pacific at 
420 fathoms. It occurred at Funafuti, off Tutanga, at 200 
fathoms (Halligan and Finckh coll.). 
CYTHERE PECTUNCULATA, sp. nov. (PI. 37. figs. 2 a, b.) 
Carapace subquadrate and elongate in side view, broad at the 
anterior and narrower at the posterior extremity ; dorsal margin 
sinuous, ventral straight; anterior margin well-rounded and 
having a flanged border, the superior edge of which is excavated 
or toothed; posterior extremity produced below. Surface of 
valve ornamented with fine pittings arranged in radiating lines, 
and with a central tubercle and two others situated posteriorly, 
one near the ventral margin behind the middle third, the other 
near the dorsal margin close to the upper posterior angle. 
Height equal to more than half the length. Edge view subovate, 
with the tubercles very prominent. End view subtriangular. 
Length *5 mm. 
Tn some respects this form resembles C. lactea, G. S. Brady f, 
but it is much neater, narrower at the posterior extremity, and 
the tubercles and pittings are more distinctly developed. 
C. pectunculata was found in the beach-sand of Avalau Islet, 
Funafuti, frequent (Sollas coll.).
