Forty-six Petterson dredge samples from Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island, have been examined for marine podocopid ostracode specimens. Estimated data on salinity, tempera-ture, depth, and bottom sediment compiled from earlier published reports have no conclu-sive relationships with faunal distribution because of the possibility that they are not representative of the collecting period. Twenty-one species of ostracodes are identified and illustrated, including a new species of Loxoconcha and Cytherotnorpha warneri represented by a new subspecies. Three species —Loxoconcha granulata, L. sperata, and Actinocythereis gomillionensis—account for ap-proximately 85 percent of the specimens collected. The remainder include five type species of well-known genera: Sclerochilus contortus, Loxoconcha rhomboidea,Eucythere declivis, Cushmanidea setninuda, and Puriana rugipunctata. Also identified are specimens of Pro
