26 Mr. T. R. Jones on some fossil Entomostraca. 



Plentiful in the freshwater deposit at Clacton, Essex. This 

 species is named after John Brown, Esq., F.G.S. of Stanway, to 

 whom I am indebted for the use of an interesting series of Ento- 

 mostraca collected by him from the Clacton beds.

 on the posterior third ; rounded obliquely anteriorly, semicircular
