CARBONIFEROUS ENTOMOSTRACA.

The carapace, as with C. recta, is smooth and oblong, with round ends, but it is 

 nearly cylindrical ; the dorsal and ventral edges vary a little in their parallelism and 

 their compression. The edge-view differs from that of C. recta in being relatively thicker, 

 and more equal at the ends, although the three examples figured vary among themselves. 

 Fig. 14 3 is compressed oval ; fig. 15 3 is subovate, compressed, and more convex poste- 

 riorly; and fig, 16 3 has a marked medial convexity, but neither of its ends is acute. 



Length -6; height '28; thickness '24 mm. Proportions 15 : 7 : 6. 



Fig. 14 is sketched from a specimen collected by Dr. H. B. Holl, F.G.S., in the 

 Carboniferous Limestone of Great Orme's Head, North Wales. Another specimen, with 

 a more cuneiform profile, and one much more convex, have since turned up in his 

 collection. 



Figs. 15 and 16 represent some specimens from the Upper Limestone Series at 

 Gare,^ near Carluke, collected by Mr. John Young, F.G.S., of Glasgow.

Carapace-valves small, subovate, smooth, broad (high) in front, convex medially, but 

 more compressed forward than behind. Breadth (height) equal to about two thirds of 

 the length. Profile or edge- view lanceolate ; end-view short-ovate. 



Length '72 (one specimen '75); height "46; thickness S6 mm. Proportions 

 18 : 111 . 9. 



Collected by the late Mr. G. Tate, F.G.S., of Alnwick, in the Lower Mountain- 

 limestone group at Lamberton, Berwickshire. In the Alnwick Museum.
