References for the Identification of Marine 

 Invertebrates on the Southern Atlantic Coast 



of the United States 



RICHARD E. DOWDS' 



ABSTRACT 



This collection of 63S citations provides an entry to the taxonomic literature on invertebrates of the 

 continental shell and estuaries from the Chesapeake Bay to northeastern Florida. Many of the citations are 

 annotated and most include a list of North Carolina libraries in which they can be found. Author and 

 systematic indices are provided. 



INTRODUCTION 



This biblioftraphy has been compiled to provide an 

 entry to the taxonomic literature on invertebrates ot the 

 continental shelf and estuaries from Chesapeake Bay to 

 northeastern Florida. I have emphasized summary works 

 covering large groups; the bibliographies of such works 

 will lead one to the more specialized and detailed 

 literature of those groups. Ecological material has been 

 included when it seemed particularly valuable. I 

 recognize that, even within these limitations, this com- 

 pilation is incomplete; useful works may have been over- 

 looked and new ones are continually being published. 



In many cases the citation is followed by a list of North 

 Carolina libraries in which it can be found. For books, 

 these listings are complete only for the libraries of the 

 University of North Carolina, Zoology Department, 

 Chapel Hill, and the Institute of Marine Sciences, 

 Morehead City. For journals, however, I have been able 

 to record the holdings of the libraries listed below thanks 

 to two invaluable publications: Littleton, I. T., and G. 

 W. Houser (editors). 1967. North Carolina Union List 

 of Scientific Serials, North Carolina State University, 

 Raleigh; and Moreland, M. C. (editor). 1973. Marine 

 literature: Serial publications in libraries of the coastal 

 plains region, Part II: North Carolina, Coastal Plains 

 Center for Marine Development Services, Wilmington.

The work of compiling this list of references has been 

 aided by the efforts of many people. Numerous 

 references have been obtained from earlier lists compiled 

 by the Duke University Marine Laboratory and Deborah 

 M. Dexter and from several of the books listed under 

 Invertebrates - General. References, advice, and clerical 

 help have been contributed by Lawrence Burns, A. F. 

 Chestnut, Michael Crezee, Patricia Finn, Richard S.
