Excerpt from The Fresh Water Cyclops of Long Island The observations recorded in this Monograph have extended over several years and have been made with special reference to the variability of the Cyclops of fresh water. While in many instances too few individuals of a species have been studied to permit of the drawing of conclusions in regard to the tendencies of the species to vary in any given direction, special care has been taken to record such differences as have been observed between the Long Island forms and those described and figured by earlier American authors. The. Plates illustrate such forms as have been seen mainly in the waters of the western section of Long Island.
