The work is illustrated by a woodcut of every species, so that 
the page of the text is that of the figure also.

Ostracoda.. Trans. Zool. Soc. Lond. v. (1866) pp. 359-

Sixty-seven species are described in this paper. Ten, viz. 
Cytherdla beyrichi (Reuss), Bairdia ovata (Bosquet), Cy- 
therideis gracilis (Reuss), Cytheridea mulleri (Munster), Cy there 
jurinei (Munster), C. canaliculata (Reuss), C. plicatula (Reuss), 
C. clathrata (Reuss), C. suheoronata (Speyer), C, scabra 
(Miinster), have been identified with forms already described and 
figured from fossil (chiefly Tertiary) specimens ; the rest (ex- 
cepting Jonesia simplex, Cythere latissima, and Cytheridea pa~ 
piltosa, Avhich have been described and figured from British spe-
