NUMBER 2202 DECEMBER I5, I964 Results of the Puritan-American Museum of Natural History Expedition to Western Mexico 20. The Recent Mollusks: Gastropoda: Harpidae, Vasidae, and Volutidae BY WILLIAM K. EMERSON' INTRODUCTION The present paper continues a study of the Recent marine mollusks collected in west Mexican waters during the course of the expedition. Previous reports considered the family Conidae (Emerson and Old, 1962), the superfamily Cypraeacea (Emerson and Old, 1963a), and the super- families Strombacea, Tonnacea, and Cymatiacea (Emerson and Old, 1963b). The present report treats the gastropod families Harpidae, Vasi- dae, and Volutidae. Specimens were taken by shore and intertidal collecting, by skin div- ing, and by dredging from a small skiff and from the schooner "Puritan." Dredging operations were restricted to depths no greater than 50 fathoms. The itinerary and descriptions of the collecting stations were recorded in the general account of the expedition (Emerson, 1958). The present collection contains three of the four eastern Pacific species that represent the families covered by this paper. An attempt is made to 1 Chairman, Department of Living Invertebrates, the American Museum of Natural His- tory. 2 AMERICAN MUSEUM NOVITATES NO. 2202 determine for the west Mexican region the modern and fossil distributions ofthese species.

Beside his vita we summarize his malacological work, give an overview about the projects for the protection of species, have a look on his tremendous impetus for the worldwide distribution of malacological knowledge by the establishment of the CHRISTA HEMMEN-Verlag, later ConchBooks, as publishing house, book trader and antiquarian. Last but not least we give a summary of his scientific achievements culminating in 206 publications and containing descriptions of up to now 42 specific taxa. Keywords: KLAUS GROH, biography, bibliography, malacology, freshwater mussels, Hesse, Rhineland- Palatinate, Luxembourg Zusammenfassung: Der 65. Geburtstag von KLAUS GROH wird zum Anlass genommen einen Rückblick auf sein bisheriges Leben und Wirken zu geben. Neben der Vita werden vor allem seine malakologische Arbeit und sein ehrenamtliches Engagement in zahlreichen malakologischen Verbänden und Naturschutzvereinen betrachtet. KLAUS GROH nahm außerdem einen enormen Einfluss auf die weltweite Verbreitung malako- logischen Wissens durch die Gründung des CHRISTA HEMMEN-Verlags, später ConchBooks, als Verlagshaus, Buchhandlung und Antiquariat. Schließlich gilt es seine wissenschaftlichen Verdienste zu würdigen, die in 206 Publikationen und Neubeschreibungen 42 spezifischer Taxa kulminieren. Vita Schulzeit Am 22.

Almost 120 mollusk species are known to present imposex when exposed to organic tin compounds as tributyltin (TBT) and triphenyltin (TPT). These compounds are used as biocide agents in antifouling paints to prevent the incrustations on boats. Five gastropod species are known to present imposex in Brazil: Stramonita haemastoma, Stramonita rustica, Leucozonia nassa, Cymathium parthenopeum and Olivancillaria vesica. This paper reports the first record of imposex observed in the endemic gastropod Voluta ebraea from Pacheco Beach, Northeast Brazil. Animals presenting imposex had regular female reproductive organs (capsule gland, oviduct and sperm-ingesting gland) and an abnormal penis. As imposex occurs in mollusks exposed to organotin compounds typically found at harbors, marinas, shipyards and areas with high shipping activities, probably contamination of Pacheco Beach is a consequence of a shipyard activity located in the nearest areas.

Conids are well known for being active predators on worms, fishes, and even other snails. Cones are venomous gastropods, meaning that they use a sophisticated cocktail of hundreds of toxins, named conotoxins, to subdue their prey. Although this venom has been studied for decades, most of the effort has been focused on Indo-Pacific species. Thus far, Atlantic species have received little attention despite recent radiations have led to a hotspot of diversity in West Africa, with high levels of endemic species. In fact, the Atlantic Chelyconus ermineus is thought to represent an adaptation to piscivory independent from the Indo-Pacific species and is, therefore, key to understanding the basis of this diet specialization. We studied the transcriptomes of the venom gland of three individuals of C. ermineus. The venom repertoire of this species included more than 300 conotoxin precursors, which could be ascribed to 33 known and 22 new (unassigned) protein superfamilies, respectively. Most abundant superfamilies were T, W, O1, M, O2, and Z, accounting for 57% of all detected diversity.

Eeceiving some years ago a quantity of shells from Port Elizabeth, some of which I could not identify with any that had been described, I. contributed a paper to the ' Journal of Conchology,' January 1886, consisting of a list of those I had identified, and descriptions of those which appeared to be new. This led to the publication of two subsequent papers in the same Journal, through my communications to the Conchological Society in 1889, considerably increasing the list. Since then, various friends in South Africa have discovered many additional species, some of which are well- known inhabitants of other coasts, but not previously recorded as South African. The purpose of the present work is to give in a small compass a list, as complete as possible, of all the known Marine Shells of South Africa, with references to figures in well-known works, descriptions of new species, and figures not only of these, but of some that have been described from time to time by other authors without figures. The total number of species enumerated is 740. Of these, 67 are also found in European seas, 340 are known to inhabit other coasts, and the remaining 323 are, as far as is known, confined to South Africa.

Vermeij Geology Department, University of California, One Shields Avenue, Davis, CA 95616, USA Correspondence: G.J. Vermeij; e-mail: [email protected] Downloaded from (Received 5 September 2013; accepted 10 February 2014) ABSTRACT The shells of many marine gastropods have ventrally directed serrations (serial projections) at the edge http://mollus.oxfordjournals.org/ of the adult outer lip. These poorly studied projections arise as extensions either of external spiral cords or of interspaces between cords. This paper describes taxonomic, phylogenetic, architectural and func- tional aspects of serrations. Cord-associated serrations occur in cerithiids, strombids, the personid Distorsio anus, ocenebrine muricids and some cancellariids. Interspace-associated serrations are phylo- genetically much more widespread, and occur in at least 16 family-level groups. The nature of serration may be taxonomically informative in some fissurellids, littorinids, strombids and costellariids, among other groups. Serrated outer lips occur only in gastropods in which the apex points more backward than upward, but the presence of serrations is not a necessary byproduct of the formation of spiral sculp- tural elements.
