CYTHERELLA. 



65 



on these dififerences, are shown to be 26 forms of Group I, having an even and smooth 

 surface, a more or less elliptical outline, and a cuneiform profile or edge-view ; and 

 6 having a lanceolate (not cuneiform) profile, and approaching Bosqiietia in this respect. 

 In the same group 13 have a punctate surface to their smooth, more or less elliptical 

 valves, with wedge-shaped profile ; and 2 have a reticulate ornament. In Group II the 

 valves, more or less oblong, have an uneven surface; 13 of them are smooth; 1 granu- 

 lose ; and 8 punctate. The grouping of these little organisms does not appear to be 

 at all coincident in detail with their " range in time."

other features of their Carapace-valves.
