Instructions to Authors Contributions illustrated by scanning electron micrographs of Ostracoda in stereo-pairs are invited. Full instructions may be obtained on request from any one of the Editors or Editorial Board. Format should follow the style set by the majority of papers in this issue. Descriptive matter apart from illustrations should be cut to a minimum; preferably each plate should be accompanied by one page of text only. Blanks to aid in mounting figures for plates may be obtained from the Editors. Completed papers should be sent to Ms. L.M. Sheppard, Department of Palaeontology, British Museum (Natural History), Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BD. Acknowledgments This Volume of the Stereo-Atlas has been aided by generous financial support from Robertson Research International Limited. Stereo -viewing for users of the Atlas In order to obtain maximum information and benefit from the use of the Stereo-Atlas it is essential that the user view the micrographs stereoscopically. Small pocket-sized stereo-viewers are most suitable for this purpose. Two suppliers are: C.F. Casella & Co. Ltd., Regent House, Britannia Walk, London N1 TND.and Air Photo Supply Corpn., 1 58 South Station, Yonkers, New York 1 0705 . U.S.A.

Bate (British Museum [Natural History] , London) Genus LESLEY A gen. nov. Type species: Lesley a bathonica sp. nov. Gender: Feminine. Derivation of name: After Lesley Sheppard, my colleague working on Jurassic ostracods. Diagnosis: Genus of Trachycytheridae having quadrate to rectangular outline in lateral view: dimorphic. Carapace compressed in dorsal view. Shell ornamented with ridges, small terminal nodes and distinct eye node. Hinge weakly entomodont. Radial pore canals straight, few in number. Inner margin and line of concrescence coincide. Muscle scars having four adductor scars, antero-ventral mandibular scar and large antero-dorsal frontal scar composed of single, large, elongate scar with smaller, anterior, subsidiary scar. Left valve slightly larger than right. Explanation of Plate 5, 82 Fig. 1, 9 LV, ext. lat. (holotype, OS 10918, 530 long); fig. 2, 6 LV, ext. lat. (paratype, OS 10919, 580 long); fig. 3, juv.

TT' I-' h- L -L -h- Stereo-Atlas of Ostracod Shells 5, 83 Lesley a bathonica (3 of 8) Remarks: Lesleya bears some external resemblance to Oligocythereis Sylvester-Bradley and it is possible that, as in Oligocythereis, the frontal scar may be V-shaped in some individuals according to preservation. Lesleya , however, differs in lacking the external muscle scar node of the Trachyleberididae and by having simple, straight radial pore canals fewer in number than exists for Oligocythereis. For these reasons Lesleya cannot be placed in the Trachyleberididae and appears to fit naturally into the Trachycytheridae. Lesleya is presently monotypic, the type species: L. bathonica being restricted to the White Limestone/Forest Marble horizon of the Upper Bathonian. Lesleya bathonica sp. nov. Holotype: Brit. Mus. (Nat. Hist.) OS. 10918, 9 L.V. [Paratypes: Brit. Mus. (Nat. Hist.) OS 10919 - 10940] .
