Notes on Some Copepoda From the Arctic Seas Collected in 1890 by the Rev. Canon A. M. Norman, F. R. S (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Notes on Some Copepoda From the Arctic Seas Collected in 1890 by the Rev. Canon A. M. Norman, F. R. S

The Copepoda recorded here are for the most part members of the family Harpacticidæ, but a few belong to other groups; they were collected by the Rev. A. M. Norman about the end of June and beginning of July, 1890, while on a visit to the Lofoten Islands and East Finmark, and I desire to express my indebtedness to him for permitting me to examine and record them. I have also to acknowledge the valuable assistance rendered by my son, Mr. Andrew Scott, in the identification of the smaller and doubtful species and for the drawings necessary to illustrate some of the descriptions of rare or apparently new forms.

The species and varieties recorded number sixty-four, and they belong to thirty-two genera.
