J. .The primary object of this paper is to bring together in columnar form all of the available information relating to the depth at which the various species o{ marine invertebrates live which are known from the Atlantic coastal waters o{ Canada. Tho value of the segregation and graphie presentation of any group of facts relating to invertebrate environment is obvious from the standpoint of ecology. The significance of many factors in the environment of faunas becomes clearly apparent only when treatecl in this way. There is no factor in marine faunal environment whrch more readily lends itself to this kind of analysis than bathymetrie data. Such data t.hough nearly always given by marine Zoologists are geaerally placed obscurely in the midst of extraneous matter and almost never shown in tabular or easily comprehensible form. Bathymetiic range of {ossil faunas is a factor which enters into many problems in palaontological correlatiou and it is very desirable that the paleontologiJt as well as the zoologist should have access to the recorded bathymetric data in tabular form relating to. present marine faunas, There perhaps is no group of facts pertaining to recent faunas of greater significance to stratigraphic paleontologists than those relating to the bathymetric range of species. The geologic importance of knowing the present range in depth of the marine shells rrow iiving in the Gulf of St. Lawrence is clearly apparent to the geologist who attempts to use the fossil Pleistocene shells of the St. Lawrence valley in interpreting the details of its Post-glacial history. The geological For personal use only. and zoologii,al importance of this class of data has induced the authors to bring together in columnar form the recorded information regarding the bathymetric range of speeiesas recorded by Dr. Whiteaves together with the data published by later authors. fn order to facilitate rapid comparative examination of the bathyrnetric data it has been recorded in columnar form, five columns being used. The first three of these columns eorrespond respectively to the intertidal or beach, the laminarian and the coralline zones. The intertidal zone extends between low and high tides;,the laminarian zone reaches from low-water mark to 15 fathoms; the fourth column includes ilepths of from 50 to 100 fathoms which may be termed the subcoralline zone. The 100 fathom line marks the approximate margin of the continental shelf. All of the records exceecl- ing this depth have for convenience been placed together in a single column. The bathymetric check list has been brought up to date by the examination of the papers on the marine invertebrates of Eastern Canada which have appeared since the publication of Dr. Whiteaves' paper. Where these later contribirtions have furnished uew bathymetric information its source is indicated by a number following the species name which refers to the bibliographic list at the end of this paper.

The student of the Pieistocene fossils of eastern Canada and the New nngland States finds it desirable to refer eonstantly to this valuable work. The omis- sion from it of an index however, has made such reference difrcult and wasteful of time and caused the student of both the Pleistocene and Recent shells to make much less use of the catalogue than its value warrants. The present index to the species of this catalogug rrhich number more than 1,000, is intended to remove this bar to frequent and easy reference to the wealth of information concerning the Atlantie coast faunas of Canada which was brought together by Dr. W'hiteaves. fn a paper having the object and scope of the present one, it does not appear desir- able to attempt 'Whiteaves any revision of the nomenclature. The nomenclature adopted by has therefore been followed throughout and where later authors have used names different from those accepted by Whiteaveg for the same forms cross references to the latter have been used. All of the names which appear in the synonomy of the trVhiteaves' cataloeue rvill be found in the eeneral index. B-crHYlrErRrc Tesr,ns.2 Berrryunrnrc Rawcu. Min. and Max. Depth. 100t PRorozoA.

    The Renogenital System of Puncturella noachina L. By Anna Meyer (of the Zoological Museum, University of Kasan) with 10 text figures The study of the excretory and genital organs of the lower Diotocardia is of significant interest because one can expect in this organ system (in its composition of the heart and gills, but perhaps only as traces) the same parity and symmetry as must have theoretically been present in the Urgastropod. Haller believed he actually had discovered such a paired and symmetrical composition of the aforementioned organs in the extant species Puncturella (Cemoria) noachina L. in the Family Fissurellidae. However, later studies provoked considerable controversy among the admittedly few researchers who re-examined the renogenital system of this species and the controversy remained undecided. I therefore eagerly followed the suggestion of my father, Professor Eduard Meyer, to undertake a detailed study of the renogenital system of Puncturella and to examine the claims of the earlier workers. However, before I go to the account of my observations, I wish to briefly present the results of earlier studies. The first information on the renogenital system of Puncturella comes from v. Erlanger in 1892 in his work “On the Paired Nephridia of Prosobranchs”1, where he detected the existence of two nephridia and pointed out their strongly asymmetrical development. He observed that the right organ was extraordinarily well developed and extended almost through the entire body cavity of the animal, while the left kidney was greatly reduced. Both nephridia open through separate papilla into the mantle cavity to either side of the anus; the left papilla being weakly developed and having a far smaller opening.

Zetela is a genus of marine gastropods belonging to the family Solariellidae (Vetigastropoda, Trochoidea). The species Zetela alphonsi Vilvens, 2002 was origi- nally described using classical conchological characters from samples obtained from deep water off Chiloé, Chile, but no other features were recorded in the original description. In the present paper, taxonomically relevant characters such as the operculum, radula, and soft part anatomy are illustrated and described for the first time from a specimen of Zetela alphonsi from a new locality, a methane seep area off the coast of central Chile. We find that many features differ substantially from other members of the genus, including several which deviate from characters that are diagnostic for Zetela. Zetela alphonsi also lacks retinal screening pigment, giving the appearance of eyelessness from gross examination. Although pigmenta- tion loss has been reported in other deep sea genera, this feature has not been re- ported in any other members of Zetela. We reconstructed a tomographic model of the eye and eyestalk, and demonstrate that a vestigial eye is still present but exter- nally invisible due to the loss of pigmentation. Based on these new morphological characters, particularly observations of the radula, we suggest that the current placement of this species in the genus Zetela should be reconsidered.

    Molluscs: Bivalvia Laura A

    I Molluscs: Bivalvia Laura A. Brink The bivalves (also known as lamellibranchs or pelecypods) include such groups as the clams, mussels, scallops, and oysters. The class Bivalvia is one of the largest groups of invertebrates on the Pacific Northwest coast, with well over 150 species encompassing nine orders and 42 families (Table 1).Despite the fact that this class of mollusc is well represented in the Pacific Northwest, the larvae of only a few species have been identified and described in the scientific literature. The larvae of only 15 of the more common bivalves are described in this chapter. Six of these are introductions from the East Coast. There has been quite a bit of work aimed at rearing West Coast bivalve larvae in the lab, but this has lead to few larval descriptions. Reproduction and Development Most marine bivalves, like many marine invertebrates, are broadcast spawners (e.g., Crassostrea gigas, Macoma balthica, and Mya arenaria,); the males expel sperm into the seawater while females expel their eggs (Fig. 1).Fertilization of an egg by a sperm occurs within the water column. In some species, fertilization occurs within the female, with the zygotes then text continues on page 134 Fig. I.

Gilkinson Fudge, Lane and Associates Ltd., 607 Torbay Road P. O. Box 9370, Stn B, St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada A1A 2Y3 Abstract A review of the existing literature on marine benthic molluscs (Amphineura, Bivalvia, Gastropoda) in the Newfoundland-Labrador region indicated that at least 158 species, representing 69 fami lies, have been referenced in reports of scientific investigations. Less than one-third of these reports have appeared in the primary literature, while the remainder exist as manuscript reports and university theses. Several species (e.g. Mytilus edulis and Placopecten magellanicus) have been studied intensively, but most species have received only very cursory attention. Specific inventories of molluscs are rare. Most zoo benthic surveys which include molluscs fall into one of three categories: fisheries-related investigations, resource assessment studies, and environmental impact studies. Additionally, the literature contain numerous academic (university) studies. Analysis of the geographic distribution of research effort indicated that most of the work was concentrated in southeastern Newfoundland (Avalon Peninsula) in proximity to the major institutions at SI.
