Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Account of the Crustacea of Norway, Vol. 8: With Short Descriptions and Figures of All the Species By this Volume I definitely conclude my Account of the Norwegian Copepoda, it being my purpose in the next Volume to enter upon an entirely different group of Crustacea, viz., the Ostracoda. Although my Account of the former group has required no less than 5 Volumes, and more than 500 species have been described, I do not by any means imagine, that it gives a fully exhaustive record of the existing forms, and I am indeed convinced that many interesting species still remain to be detected, especially of the smaller deep-water Harpacticoida and of the semiparasitic forms. Yet, I hope that my Account may have thrown some light on this formerly much neglected part of our Fauna, and that it may serve as the basis for further investigations. As to the two anomalous groups treated of in the present Volume, no record whatever has as yet been given on the Norwegian forms belonging to them. I will not omit, also on this occasion, to tender my most sincere thanks to the Direction of the Bergen Museum for the interest, it still shows for the progress of my work.
