Synopsis

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Crustacea caspia. Contributions to thel nowledge of the carcinological Fauna of the Caspian Sea, by G. 0. Sars, Prof, of Zoology at the University of Christiania, Norway. (L ule 14 avril 1893). Part I. With 8autographic plates. GENERAL INTRODUCTION. The Crustacea of the Caspian Sea are as yet but very imperfectly known, and, with the exception of the Mysidce, the Caspian species of which have partly been studied by Mr. Czerniavsky, only a few scattered notes have hitlierto been published about that part of tlie fauna. A s, howewer, the Crustacea everywhere are found to represent a very essential bulk of the fauna, it cannot fail that a closer investigation of the several forms of that class occurring in the Caspian Sea, would give us important information about the general character of the fauna of that isolated marine basin, and thereby throw much light on the difficult questions about the supposed early connexion of the Caspian Sea with other parts of the Ocean. Through the kind intervention of Mr. S. Herzenstein, a very interesting collection of Crustacea made by Mr. Warpachowsky during the past year in different places of the northern part of the Caspian Sea, has been placed in my bands for examination. Tiie collection comprises numerous species belonging to 3different orders, viz., Schizopoda, Cumacea and A mphipoda. Especially tlie occurrence in the Caspian Sea of Cumacea seems to me to be of very considerable interest, on account of the exclusive marine character of that order, and of the other 2groups there are also several very interesting and apparently new forms. Subsequently I have also received some otiier specimens of Caspian Crustacea preserved from an earlier time in the Zoological Museum of St. Petersburgh, and quite recently the rich collections of Caspian Crustacea in the possession of Dr. Grimm have been entrusted to me for investigation.
