A Classed and Annotated Bibliography of the Paleozoic Crustacea 1698-1892, to Which Is Added a Catalogue of the North American Species (Classic Reprint)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Classed and Annotated Bibliography of the Paleozoic Crustacea 1698-1892, to Which Is Added a Catalogue of the North American Species The object of this paper is to give the literature on the Palseozoic Crustacea and to aid students and palaeontologists in their researches. It is the result of more or less constant work during the past decade. It gives a list of authors, and includes an index of the species described in each work. I am well aware that the value of a work of this kind depends upon the care and labor given to its compilation. Every possible means of obtaining accurate information from a miscellaneous class of literature in many languages has been used, and it is hoped that there are but few errors and omissions. I would thank those into whose hands this paper may fall for any information that would add to its value as a working hand-book.
