CHAPTER I.
General terminology.* With a discussion of the general
morphology of the limbs.
With regard to several terminological questions connected with the Ostracods
there is still, unfortunately, considérable confusion and uncertainty in the literature. Because
of this some of these problems have had to be subjected to a new treatment in the present
work. The most important of these is the general terminology of the limbs, a problem which
can scarcely be dealt with except in connection with a discussion of the general morphology
of these organs. In the case of others I have had to define my standpoint with regard to the
views of previous authors.
Shell: —
With regard to the shell the terminology worked out by G. W. MÜLLER has been
used in this work. — For the term „Saum“ I have used „selvag e“, the word used by
G. H. FOWLER, 1909 (see, for instance, p. 257). — When ,,s h e 11, seen from the side“ appears
in the explanations of the drawings, this means that the figure is drawn from the whole shell;
when the word valve is used, the figure is drawn from a detached valve.
Limbs: —
The n a m e s o f the limbs: — W. GlESBRECHT, in his essay „Mi tt heil ungen
überCopepode n“, 1893, p. 102, after having first pointed out a number of inconsistencies
that previous writers had been guilty of in the terminology of certain limbs, utters the
follow-ing noteworthy words; „denn wenn die Namen der Gliedmaßen auch ursprünglich nach
ihrer Function gewählt sein mögen, so ist doch als Princip festzustellen, daß die homologen
Gliedmaßen mit gleichlautenden Namen zu benennen sind, und man derselben Gliedmaße nicht
nach ihrer, zuweilen in derselben Ordnung wechselnden Function verschiedene Namen
beilegen darf.“
* The questions of the special terminology have lteen dealt with in connection with the problems to which they
are related.
