The compiler is indebted to Dr. S. J. Holmes and Dr. Charles B. Wilson 

 for access to unpublished MSS. on the Amphipoda and the parasitic 

 Copepoda of the Woods Hole region. The arrangement of the Amphipoda 

 is that of Dr. Holmes, except for the Caprellidae where the classification 

 of Dr. Paul Mayer has been followed. 



Doubtless some errors have been introduced through the inability of the 

 compiler to reconcile the nomenclature of different authors. 



Those references which were inaccessible to Miss Rathbun have been 

 verified through the kindness of Drs. E. L. Bouvier, W. T. Caiman, W. 

 Faxon, K. W. Genthe, H. J. Hansen, Witmer Stone and Charles B. Wilson.
