An Account 



of 



The Crustacea of Norway, 



Under the above title Prof. Gr. 0. SARS of the University of Christiania, 

 who has for many years been specially engaged in the study of the various groups 

 of Crustacea, will publish a complete work on the Crustacea of Norway. The 

 author will characterize, as concisely as possible, all the Norwegian species hitherto 

 known, and, what is of great importance, the descriptions will be accompanied 

 by carefully drawn figures of all the forms. The lack of good plates has 

 hitherto made the study of this interesting class of animals very difficult, and, 

 in many cases, has caused sad confusion in the synonymy. It is the author's 

 intention to try to make the species belonging to the fauna of Norway easily re- 

 cognizable and definable, which, much better than by the most elaborate descrip- 

 tions, may undoubtedly be brought about by good drawings, representing the 

 whole animal and, on a greatly enlarged scale, the most characteristic details. 



For the group Amphipoda this plan has been carried out in the first 

 volume of the present work published in 1890 95 by Alb. Cammermeyer's For- 

 lag, Christiania, and consisting of 708 pages with 248 plates. (Price complete 

 kr. 32.) 



The publisher of the first volume not wishing to continue, the Bergen Museum 

 finding, that in the interest of zoological science the further publication of this 

 most valuable work ought not to be delayed, has undertaken the publication of 

 the following volumes, the expenses being defrayed partly by a grant from the Nor- 

 wegian Government, partly by the revenue of the ,,Joachim Friele Fund", belonging 

 to the Museum. 



The second volume, comprising the order Isopocia, will consist of 

 about 240 pages with 80 plates. 



The subscription price is 2 kr. for each part, consisting of 2 3 sheets 

 of 8 pages and 8 plates. 



Alb. Cammermeyers Forlag, Christiania. is the sole commissioner for the 

 book trade. Private persons, libraries etc. may also order the work to be sent 

 by post from the publisher: 



The Museum, Bergen, Norway.
