The samples were collected at approximately five foot intervals and labelled with their equivalent elevation at the type locality (Text-figure 2). Samples 175, 180, 186, 192, 200, 205, 210, 215, 220, and 230 were collected from Locality 1 whereas samples 237, 240, 250, 255, and 260 were taken at Locality 2.

Howe collection (HVH) at Louisiana State University. Thirty-nine species were recognized in this exceptionally well-preserved fauna of ostracodes (Howe and Howe, 1973). During this taxonomic study we encountered varying degrees of difficulty in assigning juvenile forms to their adult counterparts. Seven species lacked juvenile representation. Of the 32 juvenile forms recognized, 21 were relatively easy to assign specifically. The purpose of this paper is to present ways in which the remaining 11 species were Text-figure 1.
