Pennsylvanian Ostracoda of the Wayland Shale of Texas

The material yielding the micro-fauna included in the following discussion was collected by the senior author in 1930 from a locality 5 miles east and 2000 feet north of Cisco, Texas, along the highway leading from Cisco to Eastland. The microscopic forms include Bryozoa, Foraminifera and Ostracoda in considerable abundance. The Ostracodes are particularly well preserved. Several new species have been figured and described, which may be of use to future workers in making a study of the formation. The old species have been redescribed and figured to show the peculiar characteristics of the Wayland specimens when they are compared to those from other localities.
