14. Cypris sella. Tab. XIX, figs. 5, 5 a . 
Cypeis sella, Baird, Trans. Berw. Nat. Club, ii, 152, 1846 ; Ann. 
and Mag. Nat. Hist., xvii, 414, t. 9, f. 3. 
Shell ovate globose, of a uniform light green colour, 
marked on the back and side with a patch of a darker hue. 
A dark streak runs along the upper edge of the shell, be- 
ginning from immediately behind the eye, and terminating 
at about the same distance from the posterior extremity. 
It then extends a short way down the side, and then runs 
forward a little way in a somewhat lunated shape. At 
the anterior commencement of the dorsal mark a narrower 
streak of the same colour runs down the side, stopping 
only a short distance from the anterior margin. The 
shell is densely beset all round with short hairs. 
This species resembles a little the Cypris vidua in shape, 
but is smaller, and differs very considerably in the mark- 
ings, which are uniformly the same. 
Hab. — Pond on Clapham Common, July 1846.
