50 THE ENTOMOSTRACA OF 



No. 8. Cytherideis Bartonensis, spec. nov. Plate V, figs. 2 (2, 2 (5, 3 «, 3 <5. 



IKCH. 



Length, -jL Upper Eocene : Barton, Hants. 



Carapace oblong ; rounded in front ; rounded obliquely behind ; dorsal and ventral 

 borders straight, the surface of the valve suddenly sloping inwards at the latter border ; 

 most convex rather behind the centre ; surface smooth. 



Dorsal aspect elongate-sub-oval ; encl-vieio sub-ovate. 



This species appears to be related to Bairdia [?] lavissima, Borneraann (' Zeitsch. 

 Deut. geol. Ges.,^ vii, p. 358, t. 20, fig. 6), and Cytlieridea [r] papillosa. Bosquet 

 ('Entom. Tert.,' p. 42, t. 2. fig. 5). 



I have found Ci/there {Cytherideis) Bartonensis only in the Barton Clay, where it is 

 apparently rare.

INCH. 



Length, J^- Eecent : Britain ; Europe. 



Pliocene : Suffolk. 

 Upper Eocene : Isle of Wight. 



Carapace elongate, cylindrical, tapering in front, arched on the back, straight or 

 gently incurved on the ventral border, rounded at the extremities, most convex 

 and obtuse posteriorly ; surface smooth or slightly papillate. [The specimen figured 

 illustrates the narrower and more curved variety of this form.] 



Dorsal aspect elongate-narrow-ovate ; end-vieio sub-orbicular. 



This species is near to Cythere arcuata, Miinster, and some of its varieties (see 

 Bosquet, ' Crust, foss. Limbourg,' p. 59) ; but its extreme convexity and the obtuse- 

 ness of the hinder end sufficiently distinguish it. Among its many other allies, it also 

 approaches Bairdia [?] mytiloides. Bosquet, in outline ; but wants its ornamentation.
