Sentences with OSTRACODS (5)
Floating or swimming freely were examples of pteropods, worms, crustaceans, ostracods, and jelly-fish.
Allusion is here made to certain small Crustacea--certain phyllopods and ostracods--which have the hard outer coat of their thorax so modified as to look wonderfully like a bivalve shell, although its {80} nature and composition are quite different.
Crustacea occupied an extremely prominent place; there were Phyllocarids such as _Hymenocaris_, and Ostracods like _Entomidella_; but by far the most important in numbers and development were the Trilobites, now extinct, but in palaeozoic times so abundant.
Trilobites during this period sank to a very subordinate position, but Ostracods (_Cythere, Kirkbya, Beyrichia_) were abundant.
The luminous material in the latter case appears capable of indefinite preservation, but it is possible that the quick loss of photogenic power with dried luminous bacteria is merely an indication that they contain very little photogenic substance and that the dried ostracods would also in time lose their power to luminesce.
