In the palseontological portion of "The Yorkshire Lias," by It. Tate and J. F. Blake, 1876, the 

 latter has noted, at page 434, that the Carboniferous species which we have referred to Bolycope 

 appear to him " to belong to a different family, and only to bear an accidental resemblance to Bolycope 

 in their simplicity." This resemblance being due possibly to homoplasy and not to homogeny, 

 Prof. Blake suggests (in letter) that it is not advisable to refer these Carboniferous forms to a member 

 of the Cladocopa rather than to the Myodocopa, of the former of which (excepting Mr. Blake's liassic 

 species) only recent and post-tertiary examples are known. Our friend's suggestion is doubtless well- 

 founded. It may be too bold to suppose that this special section of Ostracods had been already 

 separated off at that early period (Carboniferous), and that a few forms, among a number of others very 

 similar to them, alone represented this section ; and perhaps we ought to have kept them among the 

 CypridinadeB, with a distinct name. Sg many, however, of the fossil bivalve Eutomostraca, even of 

 Silurian age, seem to correspond with known recent genera of various alliances, that it seems scarcely 

 strange to find some palaeozoic members of even a limited and rare section. At all events, we must 

 leave the question open for the present.
