It is likewise not a compendium of terms used in description. Students needing to become familiar with the anatomical terminology of ostracods would do well to turn to G. W. Muller's great 189) monograph, Sars! 1922-1928 Account of the Crustacea of Norway, vol.9, or Hoff's 1942 Ostracods of Illinois. For the terminology of the carapace, students will find illustrations and derinieeons in G. We Muller 189); Sylvester-Bradley 1941, 1948d; Bold 1946; Hornibrook 1952; Zalanyi 1929; or Ruggieri 1950a. Keslingts 1951 Terminology of ostracod carapaces should be sufficient for the Paleonzoic student. All students of ostracoda, Recent or fossil should be familiar with Triebel'ts 1941 discussion of their morphology and ecologye I have instead attempted to give as completely as possible all references which I have noted anywhere in the literature on ostracod taxonomy regardless of whether I possessed the publication or not. I believe that my library is complete enough to have at least some mention of nearly all of the ostracod subgenera, genera, subfamilies, families and higher taxonomic units. As a further check of my completeness in this respect, I have sent copies of the Index portion to Raymond C. Moore, editor in chief of the Treatise on Paleontology, He We Scott, Chairman of the Paleozoic committee on Ostracods for the Treatise, Frederick M. Swain, and Stewart Levinson, both distinguished ostracod experts and members of the Treatise committee on ostracodse From Xvii
them, and particularly from Levinson, I have received valuable comments, notations of omissions and help with the missing literature. As a consequence of their laborious and unselfish assistance, I feel that I am able to present this Handbook of Ostracod Taxonomy to future workers, with the assurance that it is the best which may be done in American Libraries at the present time. Less than 10 essential papers, so far as I have been able to learn, are missing from my personal library, and all are so indicated in both the Index portion and in the Bibliography.
