  In 
  1942 
  Dr. 
  Walter 
  M. 
  Tattersall 
  completed 
  the 
  manuscript 
  of 
  ids 
  

   lengthy 
  study 
  of 
  the 
  crustaceans 
  of 
  the 
  order 
  Mysidacea 
  of 
  the 
  U. 
  S, 
  

   National 
  Museum. 
  This 
  study, 
  more 
  than 
  a 
  simple 
  catalog 
  of 
  speci- 
  

   mens 
  stored 
  at 
  the 
  museum, 
  was 
  a 
  listing 
  of 
  all 
  species 
  of 
  the 
  order 
  

   ever 
  reported 
  from 
  the 
  Americas, 
  both 
  North 
  and 
  South, 
  and 
  a 
  review 
  

   of 
  all 
  literature 
  pertinent 
  to 
  them. 
  Many 
  species 
  were 
  described 
  and 
  

   depicted, 
  taxonomic 
  confusions 
  were 
  cleared, 
  and 
  1 
  new 
  genus 
  and 
  19 
  

   new 
  species 
  were 
  described. 
  

  

  This 
  study, 
  as 
  it 
  stands, 
  is 
  the 
  most 
  valuable 
  contribution 
  to 
  the 
  

   knowledge 
  of 
  the 
  order 
  yet 
  made 
  in 
  America 
  and 
  will 
  be 
  invaluable 
  to 
  

   every 
  worker, 
  specialist 
  or 
  not, 
  who 
  will 
  need 
  to 
  identify 
  these 
  crus- 
  

   taceans. 
  However, 
  Dr. 
  Tattersall 
  died 
  on 
  October 
  1, 
  1943, 
  before 
  

   even 
  the 
  initial 
  preparations 
  were 
  made 
  by 
  the 
  U. 
  S. 
  National 
  Museum 
  

   for 
  the 
  publication 
  of 
  the 
  stud3^ 
  Because 
  of 
  the 
  war-induced 
  delay, 
  

   the 
  manuscript 
  was 
  not 
  finally 
  published 
  until 
  October 
  4, 
  1951. 
  In 
  

   the 
  intervening 
  eight 
  years 
  several 
  papers 
  on 
  the 
  group 
  appeared, 
  and 
  

   others, 
  published 
  earlier 
  in 
  Europe 
  during 
  the 
  war, 
  became 
  available 
  

   for 
  the 
  first 
  time. 
  Some 
  of 
  these 
  contain 
  references 
  to 
  the 
  species 
  

   discussed 
  by 
  Tattersall, 
  and 
  a 
  few 
  changes 
  in 
  taxonomic 
  status 
  have 
  

   been 
  introduced. 
  As 
  references 
  to 
  these 
  additional 
  studies 
  were 
  not 
  

   inserted 
  in 
  the 
  manuscript 
  in 
  the 
  course 
  of 
  editing, 
  the 
  actual 
  date 
  of 
  

   publication 
  is 
  deceptive.
