About this product

Product Information

Excerpt from The Danish Ingolf-Expedition: Part 1., Contents; Will, Lundbeck; Homorrhaphidae and Heterorrhaphidae The present treatise is the first part of a work on the Porifera collected by the Ingolf-expedition. The material for this work, however, does t consist of that of the Ingolf-expedition only, but I have, for the sake of completeness, included all the sea-sponges, found in our museum, from Greenland, Iceland and the Faroe Islands, and upon the whole from the territory treated of here. The latter material has especially been collected by the Greenland-expeditions that have been sent by the commission for the geological and geographical examination of Greenland; partly also by the men of war that have navigated the seas round Greenland and Iceland, as also by some other collectors; especially must be mentioned a considerable collection, made by Dr. Mortensen in 1899 at the Faroe Islands. Of the whole material, however, the portion collected by the Ingolf-expedition during its two cruises in 1895 and 1896 forms by far the greater part. The collection of sponges made by this expedition was quite exceptionally great, greater, I think, than any made by any single expedition before. Finally I got from the museum in Bergen by the kindness of Dr. Brunchhorst the sponges of the Norwegian North-Atlantic Expedition, which I have included here, as the earlier work on those sponges needed a revision. The geographical territory of the present work may therefore be given thus: the eastern part of the Davis Strait and the sea rth of a line through the southernmost station of the Ingolf at about 57 L. N. across to the south of the Faroe Islands, that is to say, the whole of the North-Atlantic (species from the Norwegian fjords, however, have t been included). From this territory I have endeavoured to include all the species, also those that are t found in the material, but have been mentioned in the literature are found within the territory. With regard to the terms used in the descriptions I shall premise a few remarks. The termilogy employed in describing the spicules is mainly the same as has been used by Ridley and Dendy and by Topsent, and upon the whole by all recent authors, so that an explanation will be unnecessary. For the more or less membraus part of the body of the sponge which forms the surface and covers the subdermal cavities, the term dermal membrane has been employed.
