Overview

Excerpt from Carriker on Mallophaga: Posthumous Papers, Catalog of Forms Described as New, and Bibliography The manuscript of the Catalog of Forms Described as New, as pre pared by Mr. Carriker, was originally submitted for publication on October 11, 1961. He submitted, for incorporation into the Catalog, material from his new publications as they appeared and he later added a complete bibliography of his works. The Catalog entries and the Bibliography were checked by Florence A. Ruhoff, of the Department of Entomology. Five papers left in various stages of completion by Mr. Carriker at the time of his death, July 27, 1965, were prepared for publication by Smith somian Research Associate K. C. Emerson, who also provided us. National Museum catalog numbers for the species listed in the Catalog, and added to the Catalog scientific names and other data from the five posthumous papers, which are published herewith. Dr. Emerson has otherwise given generously of his time in reading and correcting the proofs and in resolving scientific questions that arose during the course of publication. Mr. Carriker freely exchanged paratypes with many individuals and institutions. No attempt has been made in the Catalog to account for all paratypes of the species described by him, or to list the paratypes, in his collection, described by other authors. Paratypes of many of the species described by him are in the collections of the British Museum (natural History) and of Dr. Emerson. The us. National Museum has paratypes of most of those species of which the holotype is in another museum. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
