North Carolina Shell Club Auction Catalog III
North Carolina Shell Club Auction Catalog III For shells to have scientific value, where they were collected is of utmost importance. To keep track of this information a shell may have a control number and a data slip stored with it. A catalog may also be present recording the information. If the record becomes separated from the shell its im- portance to science is greatly diminished. This catalog features a collection of shells that were at one time cataloged but have since lost those records. Included in this list are some very special shells from this collection. Even without collecting data shells remain objects of beauty and fascination. The shells are selected for their exceptional qualities including beauty. Here is a chance to add a standout shell or two to your collection without the added value often associated with collecting data. Note: Even without specific collecting data some species have a very limited range of occurrence so where it came from is not a complete mystery. The shells are donated by the Mollusk Collection, North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences.

Molluscs of Christmas Island
Records of the Western Australian Museum Supplement No. 59: 103-115 (2000). MOLLUSCS OF CHRISTMAS ISLAND Fred E. Wells and Shirley M. Slack-Smith Western Australian Museum, Francis Street, Perth, Western Australia 6000, Australia Christmas Island is towards the lower end of sources. Maes considered that the paucity of species species diversity for similar coral reef surveys was largely due to the great distances over which undertaken by the Western Australian Museum . planktonic larvae would have to be carried from (Table 8), with a total of 313 species of molluscs areas of similar habitats, further complicated by collected (Table 9). Mollusc diversity was greater at apparently adverse winds and currents. Christmas Island than the 261 species collected at Of the 313 species collected at Christmas Island, Rowley Shoals and the 279 collected at Seott Reef in 245 were gastropods (78.3%) and 63 were bivalves 1984, but fewer than the 433 collected at Ashmore (20.1 %). No scaphopods, only three species of chitons Reef in 1986. However, with 15 collecting days and two of cephalopods were collected although compared to the maximum of 12 on Ashmore Reef other cephalopod species were seen. This breakdown and the fact that there were three people primarily of the fauna is almost identical to the results from the interested in molluscs on Christmas Island as northwestern shelf-edge atolls of Western Australia, opposed to two on the other expeditions, the where 77.3% of the total of 581 species collected were molluscan fauna of Christmas Island can be seen to gastropods and 20.7% were bivalves (Wells, 1994). -

India has a coastline of 8,118 km, with an exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of 2.02 million sq km and a continental shelf area of 468,000 sq km, spread across 10 coastal States and seven Union Territories, including the islands of Andaman and Nicobar and Lakshadweep. Indian coastal waters are extremely diverse attributing to the geomorphologic and climatic variations along the coast. The coastal and marine habitat includes near shore, gulf waters, creeks, tidal flats, mud flats, coastal dunes, mangroves, marshes, wetlands, seaweed and seagrass beds, deltaic plains, estuaries, lagoons and coral reefs. There are four major coral reef areas in India-along the coasts of the Andaman and Nicobar group of islands, the Lakshadweep group of islands, the Gulf of Mannar and the Gulf of Kachchh . The Andaman and Nicobar group is the richest in terms of diversity. -
Marine Gastropods of American Samoa Introduction
Micronesica 41(2):237–252, 2011 Marine gastropods of American Samoa D.P. Brown Isle Royale National Park, Houghton, MI 49931 Abstract—Collected for food for over 3,000 years by the indigenous Samoan people, marine gastropods in American Samoa have never been collected and cataloged for science. This study documents 385 marine gastropods from 50 families occurring in the U.S. territory of American Samoa. Ten of these are listed by genus only and one by family. The num- ber of gastropods currently reported is likely significantly underestimated and a conservative estimate of the richness yet to be discovered. Introduction Molluscs have been collected in Samoa since the earliest inhabitants arrived some 3,000 years ago (Craig et al 2008, Kramer 1994, Kirch and Hunt, 1993, Nagaoka 1993). Much of this reef gleaning was directed at the cephalopods, the large and colorful giant clams (Tridacna spp.) and the larger marine snails such as Trochus spp, Lambis spp., Cassis spp., Turbo spp., and Tutufa spp., although any marine mollusc was likely taken if found (Munro 1999). While the limited archeological evidence provides an initial species list, this long history of the use of marine molluscs provided a very limited understanding of the marine gastro- SRGVRIWKHDUFKLSHODJR(YHQDIWHU(XURSHDQFRQWDFWIHZVHULRXVRUDPDWHXUVKHOO collectors made the long voyage to the S. Pacific to catalog the gastropoda. Until very recently, and before the advent of SCUBA, much of the gastropod knowledge in the area came from the shallow depths available to free-divers, what could be dredged off the bottom, and what washed onto the shore. The first organized sci- entific investigations into the Samoan gastropods weren’t carried out until the 18th century by the La Perouse expedition. -

In this paper, two new species of snail-parasitic copepods of the family Myicolidae are described from Japan. One of them, to which a new genus is proposed here, was discovered by Mr. N. Nunomura, a graduate student of Kyoto University study ing parasitic turbellarians at that time, from inside the soft body of a spindle whelk, Pleuroploca trapezium audouini [Neogastropoda, Fasciolariidae], collected in the vicinity of the Seto Marine Biological Laboraotry in August 1971 and the collected speci mens were submitted to the present author for identification. Shortly later, a number of additional specimens were collected from the same snail in the same place, and further some specimens were obtained at Minabe near Seto in January 1972 from another related snail, identified, though not strictly, with Fusinus nigrirostratus. This new species is limited to the renal sac of the host, creeping into a complicated net work of renal lamellae, and seemingly is found commonly from spindle whelks in the vicinity of Seto. -
Prosobranch Gastropods of Guam
Micronesica 35-36:244-270. 2003 Prosobranch gastropods of Guam BARRY D. SMITH Marine Laboratory University of Guam Mangilao, Guam 96923 U.S.A. email: [email protected] Abstract—Based on records from invertebrate collections at the University of Guam, specimens cataloged at other institutions, and the published literature, there are 895 species of prosobranch gastropods from Guam. The vast majority of the species are marine, but terrestrial and aquatic prosobranchs are included. Most the species recorded to date are conspicuous, epibenthic species from shallow reef habitats, but some species have been taken from depths up to 400 m. Microgastropods less than 7 mm in size have been poorly investigated to date. Comparison of prosobranch gastropods from Guam and Enewetak reveal that some 56% of the species occurring at Enewetak are found in Guam. Introduction Molluscs have been collected in Guam since the arrival of the earliest inhabitants (Thompson, 1945). Despite the long history of European contact with the island, scant attention was given to systematic investigation of the fauna until the collections of Quoy and Gaimard (1824–1826; 1830–1834). Hidalgo (1904– 1905) was the first to produce a catalog that included molluscs from Guam, but his emphasis was mostly on the Philippine Islands fauna. This catalog was followed by a series of unpublished lists produced by shell collectors and shell club members during the last several decades. Synoptic collections of molluscs from Guam and Micronesia were started by faculty of the University of Guam in the mid-1960s. These collections are housed in the Richard E. Dickinson Memorial Mollusc Collection at the University of Guam Marine Laboratory. -
