The cover caption for the October issue of Journal of Morphology (Volume 246, Number 1) incorrectly listed the size of the cover specimen, Limnognathia maerski, as 128 cm in length. This is incorrect. The correct length is 128 &mgr;m. The correct cover caption is: The type species, Limnognathia maerski nov. gen. et sp. of a new group of animals, Micrognathozoa, from Greenland was photographed using differential interference contract microscopy, Nomarski technique. Anterior of the specimen is at the top of the figure. Different internal structures such as the pharyngeal apparatus with jaws and the ovaria with eggs are seen in three dimensions. The long, stiff sensoria are best seen when the animal is living as here in this photomicrograph. This specimen is only 128 &mgr;m in length. The color in this image is not the true color of the transparent animal but is a reflection of the Nomarski technique. Photomicrograph by Reinhardt M. Kristensen. See R. M. Kristensen and P. Funch, page 1. The Editor regrets this error.
《形态学杂志》10月刊(第246卷,第1期)的封面说明错误地将封面标本马氏鳃颚虫的大小列为体长128厘米。这是错误的。正确长度是128微米。正确的封面说明是:新动物类群微颚动物门的模式种马氏鳃颚虫新属新种,是在格陵兰岛发现的,使用微分干涉对比显微镜(诺马斯基技术)拍摄。标本的前部在图的顶部。可以从三维角度看到不同的内部结构,如带有颚的咽器官和带有卵的卵巢。当动物活着时,如在这张显微照片中,长长的、坚硬的感觉器最清晰可见。这个标本的长度只有128微米。此图像中的颜色不是这种透明动物的真实颜色,而是诺马斯基技术的反映。显微照片由莱因哈特·M·克里斯滕森拍摄。见莱因哈特·M·克里斯滕森和P·芬奇的文章,第1页。编辑对这个错误表示歉意。
