In the Annals and Magazine of Natural History, ser. VII, vol. i (1898), pp. 333–334, pi. xxvii, a numerous series of fossil Ostracoda, with bivalved carapaces, having more or less resemblance to those of Cypridina, were described and figured. The specimens selected had been collected by various observers in different regions; and comprised two from the Tertiary of France, two from the Cretaceous of Belgium, one from the Permian of Durham, seven from the Carboniferous of Britain, three from the Devonian of Devon, three from the Upper Silurian and two from the Lower Silurian (Ordovician) of distant regions. References were made to several allied Palæozoic forms; and one other species from the Carboniferous of North America (Ulrich) and two from the Upper Silurian of Scania (Moberg) ought to have been mentioned.
