J.micropalaeontol., 7(1): 41-42, May, 1988 A note on some type specimens of G. S. Brady’s South Sea island ostracods PETER S. DAVIS & DAVID J. HORNE Hancock Museum, Newcastle-upon-Tyne NE2 4PT & Geology Dept, City of London Polytechnic, Walburgh House, Bigland Street, London El 2NG ABSTRACT-Provisional registration numbers allocated to some type specimens of ostracods described by G. S. Brady from the SW Pacific are replaced with Hancock Museum Registration Numbers. DISCUSSION McKenzie (1986) designated and illustrated type specimens of a number of ostracod species originally described by G. S. Brady (1890) from islands in the SW Pacific. McKenzie originally borrowed the specimens before the recent cataloguing of the Brady Collection (see Davis & Horne, 1985) had been started, however, and the re-curation of the specimens that he returned to the museum occurred too late for the registration numbers to be included in his paper. The Hancock Museum registration numbers quoted by McKenzie are therefore only provisional ones and are meaningless in the context of the present computer catalogue. This note is intended to set the record straight by presenting the new numbers alongside McKenzie’s provisional ones. To McKenzie’s plate and figure numbers we have added the correct Hancock Museum registration number of each specimen, with McKenzie’s provisional registration number in brackets. Where McKenzie’s generic assignment differs from that originally cited by Brady, both names are given. Further notes are made where appropriate. Plate 1 (McKenzie, 1986) Fig. 8.

Streptoleberis crenulata Brady, 1890; lectotype juvenile (B478); after photography by McKenzie this specimen was dissected and illustrated by Kornicker (1978), who determined it to be an adult female; the dissected appendages are on glass slides numbered 1.10.39 and 1.10.40. McKenzie’s illustration is of the right side of the carapace; Kornicker also took SEM photographs before softening and dissecting the specimen, illustrating left lateral and anterior views. As Kornicker pointed out, although Brady (1890) stated that he had only a single specimen, two were listed as “types” in Brady’s notebook; one of these remains o n slide no. 2.14.07 (square 9), while the other, taken from slide 2.14.08, is the lectotype designated by McKenzie. + Text figures (McKenzie, 1986) Fig. 3 .
