INTRODUCTION When I first began an investigation of the Tertiary ostracods of the Gulf Coast Region more than a quarter of a sentury ago, I quickly realized that the greatest problem “acing an ostracod student was where to find the literature dealing with them. Our Library contained only a portion of the papers which I wished to see. Purchase of many books and articles was impossible because of their rarity. Micro- Filming had not become a standard practice, but I purchased mne of the first Leica cameras with a copying attachment, and began a practice of borrowing volumes and filming them myself. Then the U. S. Department of Agriculture Library set up a microfilm service, which opened the doors to the volumes contained in Washington. As more and more libraries have added microfilm departments, the task of assembling ostracod literature has become much easier. At the present time, with a personal expenditure of some $4,500.00, I have accumulated a microfilm library of well over 3,000 titles. How many books, papers and articles dealing with ostracods have been published, I do not knowe My present estimate would be in the neighborhood of 5,000 titles. This estimate is based on the fact that I have partial references in my files to nearly 1,000 articles, which I have so far been unable to locate, because of incomplete bibliographic data, and I am sure that there are many of 1495 vii
which I have not as yet found a trace. Certainly there are many published in eastern Europe, and the USSR on which I have no information.
The continued accumulation of ostracod literature has made it abundantly clear that no library contains all of the literature on ostracodae I have, therefore, indicated with each reference in my bibliography, the Library from which I obtained my copye One of the greatest problems in gathering a library on ostracods is the unfortunate habit of many ostracod workers of so abbreviating their bibliographic references as to make them practically unfindable. They also are listed ina manner quite different from that used by librarians in cataloginge I have therefore appended to this volume, a list of the serials containing works on ostracod taxonomy, giving the titles as they are listed in the Union List of Serials. Or if they are not reported by the Union List, I have used the headings given by the Royal Society Catalogue of Scientific Papers, The Geological Record, London; Geological Literature on North America; or Bibliography and Index of Geology Exclusive of North America, as libraries normally have their books catalogued in accordance with these listings, which frequently differ greatly from the title page of a particular volumee Many journals have changed their titles several times, but will be catalogued usually only under the last title, or perhaps under the city in which published. With each listing, viii
