figured in both positions. The analytical figures have in all cases been associated 

 in the same plates with the habitus-figures, an arrangement which is undoubtedly 

 more convenient than that adopted by Th. Scott in some of his recent papers 

 where these figures are found scattered over many different plates. 



I regret that in some few cases the figures on the plates have been 

 less perfectly reproduced, owing to want of care on the part of the lithographer 

 in the transfer of my drawings to the stone. In the great majority of cases, 

 however, I hope that the plates will be found to suffice for an easy recognition 

 of the species represented. 



In concluding this Volume, I wish to express my most sincere thanks to 

 those gentlemen who have assisted me in the work. To Canon A. M. Norman 

 and Dr. Th. Scott I am much indebted for their kindness in sending me inter- 

 esting specimens and in giving me other information useful to me. My hearty 

 thanks are also due to Mr. 0. Nordgaard, curator of the Trondhjem Museum, 

 for his generosity in placing in my hands his whole material of Harpacticoida, 

 as also for sending me several bottom-samples taken by him partly off the Fin- 

 mark coast, partly off the Lofoten Islands and in the Skjserstad Fjord. Several 

 interesting species, described and figured in the present Volume, were derived 

 from these samples. Finally, I beg to thank the Direction of the Bergen Museum 

 for the promptness with which it has attended to the printing and publishing of 

 the several parts of this Volume, as soon as they left my hands.
