A Monograph Of The Ostracoda Of The Antwerp Crag Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Irish Crustacea Ostracoda The object of this paper is to bring together all that is known respecting the representation of the order of Crustacea called Ostracoda in the Irish fauna. The great extent of fresh water in Ireland ought to make that country very rich in species of Entomostraca which are not marine, but very little has been done among the fresh water forms, although that little has brought to light species which have hitherto escaped detection elsewhere in the British Isles. It may be hoped that the publication of this list will induce some young naturalists in Ireland to take up this interesting study. In recording habitats, I have given my own authority for some habitats where the species has been also found by other observers because in thus acting I am giving confirmation to the record of localities already mentioned in Prof. Brady's and my monograph. I have looked through a great deal of material which I had not had time to examine when that monograph was published. This material has been for the most part collected by myself; but the Youghal sand was given me by my late friend, Dr. Jeffreys; the Aran sands were collected by the late Mr. George Harlee, and the Lough Foyle material gathered by the late Mr. Edward Waller.
