Extract

In 1885 Dr. C. A. White, F.C.G.S., Palæontologist to the U.S. Geological Survey, supplied me with some of the siliceous residue of a limestone belonging to the freshwater Jurassic Atlantosaurus-beds in Colorado, from which several casts of small Ostracoda were figured and described in the GEOLOGICAL MAGAZINE, Dec. III. Vol. III. April, 1886, pp. 145–8, Pl. IV. Since that time Dr. White has kindly sent me somewhat similar material, obtained in like manner, by dissolving in dilute acid pieces of an impure limestone, which lies at the base of the Upper Cretaceous Series, from Cokeville, a hamlet in South-Western Wyoming, and belongs to the Bear-River Formation. The Ostracoda selected are figured in Plate XV. Figs. 1–9, 11–13, and 15. These casts represent the whole carapace in many if not all instances.

In the foregoing the sulcus is often rare and always irregular; but it holds good, however, more definitely as a generic character in the Palæozoic Entonus and Entomidella, although partially shown in some contemporary genera, especially Primitia.
