Synopsis
Excerpt from The Schizopoda of the Siboga Expedition
That the capture of 44 species of Mysidacea is an excellent result goes without mention. But it is easy to prove that several forms still undiscovered live in the seas and straits traversed by the Siboga. Among the 34 (33) new species 17 are known from only a single station, and among these 8 are represented only by a single specimen. And every Zoologist experienced in questions on occurrence and distribution will admit that when three-fourths of a very considerable number of species captured within a vast area are new to science and half of these new forms have been found only at a single station, a good number of forms are still discoverable.
