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 mor- 
phology 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 com- 
pleteness 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
