Abstract
The ostracod faunas of the Aptian of the Isle of Wight, England, are described. Thirty-three species are described or listed, seven species and one subspecies are new, three forms are left under open nomenclature. The distribution of the ostracoda in the Isle of Wight is contrasted with other localities in the English Aptian.
