NO. 1302. AMERICAN PARASITIC ARGULIDjI^WILSON. 637 



descriptions are well written and quite complete, but the other two 

 are almost worthless. Afterwards Dr. S. I. Smith, in the Inverte- 

 brates of Vineyard Sound (1874), described three new species and 

 mentioned two of the others as probably occurring- in the vicinity. 

 These six descriptions, with an annotated List of Described Species, 

 by Richard Rathbun (1884), comprise all the American literature upon 

 th(> family. 



No one since Jurine's day (1806) has compiled a bibliography of the 

 Argulidte, and but once (Thorell, 18(54) has there lieen any attempt to 

 present a review of all known species. 



These facts at once warrant the following attempt, and guarantee 

 that it will be of necessity more or less defective. But it is hoped 

 that it mav be of service as a basis for future work.

According to Hermann flls (1804), Baldner left a manuscript in the library at Strassburg 

 in which he described and pictured the birds, flshe.s, and aquatic animals of the neighbor- 

 hood. In this he makes mention of the " Pou des poissons " {A.foUacciiy). Sofarascanbe 

 ascertained, this is the first mention of an Argulid.
