PAET IT.— THE OSTEACODA, COPEPODA, and 



CIEEIPEDIA. 



(Part I., published in the Proceedings, Vol. XYI. pp. 

 97-190, contained the Malacostkaca, Cladocera, 

 and Branchiura.) 



Order OSTEACODA. 



The work that has been mainly followed in the arrange- 

 ment and nomenclature of the Ostracoda is that by Professor 

 G. S. Brady and the Eev. Canon A. M. Norman, entitled 

 "A Monograph of the Marine and Fresh-Water Ostracoda 

 of the North Atlantic and North -Western Europe." The 

 work was published in two separate portions in the scientific 

 Transactions of the Royal Dublin Society. The first portion, 

 which formed Part II. of Vol. IY. (Series 2), appeared in 

 1889, and the second, which formed Part II. of Vol. V. of 

 the same series, in 1896. 



In this work the Ostracoda are divided into four sections, 

 viz. — (1st) the Podocopa, which comprises all the fresh- 

 water and most of the marine species ; (2nd) the Myodocopa, 

 which is represented in this Catalogue by only two species, 

 Aster ope Marim and Philomedes interpuncta ; (3rd) the 

 Cladocopa, which is represented by Polycope orbicularis and 

 Polycopsis compressa ; and (4th) the Platycopa — a section 

 not represented in this Catalogue. 



As this work has been, with few exceptions, followed 

 throughout, I have not considered it necessary to mention 

 it under every species, and where it is mentioned it is 

 referred to as the Monograph (or I. c), Part I. or Part II., 

 as the case may be. 



Various other works have been consulted, two of which
