The abdomen is turned down-wards and forwards, and shows three segments and a telson. Order 2. Ostracoda.—Small Crustaceans, usually laterally compressed,with an indistinctly segmented or unsegmented body, rudimentaryabdomen, and bivalve shell. There are only seven pairs of nules, antenna, mandibles, first maxillte, two pairs of thoracic limbs. Parthenogenesis-is often prolonged. Examples.—Cypris (fresh water), Cypridina (marine)..
