66 On Australian E ntomostracans. 



9. C. C ando7iioides . PI X. F. 



Very like C. Sydneia, but the anterior end is much 

 smaller than the posterior, the shell is polished, of a 

 yellowish colour, tinged with chestnut on the hack. I have 

 never seen this species attempt to swim. 



Locality ; — Varroville. 



10. C. Varrovillia. PI. X. D. 



Shell ovate, elliptical, slightly concave at the ventral 

 margin. Valves very flat. Deeply striate transversely, 

 pilose, greenish, and semi-transparent. The hairs on the 

 rami are very short and weak, and consequently the animal 

 cannot lift its shell vertically, except in creeping. When 

 it attempts to swim it does so on its side. 



Locality; — Varroville, Sydney. 



Genus II. Candona. 



1. C. Stanleyana. PL X. H. 



Shell oblong, slightly sinuated at the ventral margin. 

 Valves deeply striate, of a dark green colour. On the rami 

 are three strong hairs, where the long pencil is found in 

 Cypris. In the centre of the valves are a few round spots. 

 These spots, or similar ones, were noticed in several English 

 species by Mr. Baird. But this is the only Australian spe- 

 cies in which I have noticed them. 



I have named the species after my lamented friend Capt, 

 Owen Stanley, E.N., to whom I have been personally under 

 very great obligation in the study of natural history, when 

 at sea in 1846-7, on board H.M.S. Rattlesnake, then under 

 his command. 



Locality ; — Ponds on the top of the sandstone rocks, over- 

 looking the sea near Ooogee, associated with Limnadia, 

 Stanleyajia, and New/ihainia fe?iestraia.
