Ac. LONDON: PRINTED BY ORDER OF THE TRUSTEES 1857. PRINTED BY TAYLOR AND FRANCIS, RED LION COURT, FLEET STREET. PREFACE The object of the present Work is to explain the manner in which the Collection of Mollusca and their shells is arranged in the British Museum, and especially to give a short account of the chief characters, derived from the animals, by which they are dis- tributed, and which it is impossible to exhibit in the Collection. The figures referred to after the names of the species, under the genera, are those given in " The Figures of Molluscous Animals, for the Use of Students, by Maria Emma Gray, 3 vols. 8vo, 1850 to 1854 ;" or when the species has been figured since the appear- ance of that work, in the original authority quoted. The concluding Part is in hand, and it is hoped will shortly appear. JOHN EDWARD GRAY. Dec. 10, 1856. ERRATA AND CORRIGENDA. Page 43.

While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image.

Des spécimens vivants sont également représentés. ABSTRACT Buccinum cyaneum from different North-East Atlantic localities are illustrated. Live specimens are also presented. INTRODUCTION Buccinum cyaneum Bruguière, 1792 est un petit représentant de la famille des Buccinidae qui ne dépasse généralement pas une hauteur de 5 à 6 cm. La coquille se caractérise par une absence de plis verticaux, du moins dans la grande majorité des cas. Elle porte des côtes spirales espacées, principalement sur le dernier tour. Son opercule est pointu avec un nucleus décentré (Macpherson 1971). Buccinum cyaneum dépose des capsules ovigères à la surface lisse en amas semi-circulaires de 41 à 48 mm de diamètre (Thorson 1935). Dans celles-ci de petites coquilles s’y développent (Delongueville & Scaillet 2001). Il existe de nombreuses variétés qui ont donné lieu à la multiplication des synonymes, le plus connu est Buccinum groenlandicum Chemnitz, 1788. Certaines variétés sont illustrées dans Fraussen & Poppe (1994). Buccinum cyaneum vit à la limite des zones boréale et arctique. Sa distribution est assez vaste. On le trouve en Amérique du Nord de la Nouvelle Ecosse (Whiteaves 1901) jusqu’à l’ile d’Ellesmere, à l’ouest et au sud-est du Groenland, en Islande (Macpherson 1971), aux iles Féroé (Sneli et al.

  • New Zealand's Genetic Diversity
    1.13 NEW ZEALAND’S GENETIC DIVERSITY NEW ZEALAND’S GENETIC DIVERSITY Dennis P. Gordon National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research, Private Bag 14901, Kilbirnie, Wellington 6022, New Zealand ABSTRACT: The known genetic diversity represented by the New Zealand biota is reviewed and summarised, largely based on a recently published New Zealand inventory of biodiversity. All kingdoms and eukaryote phyla are covered, updated to refl ect the latest phylogenetic view of Eukaryota. The total known biota comprises a nominal 57 406 species (c. 48 640 described). Subtraction of the 4889 naturalised-alien species gives a biota of 52 517 native species. A minimum (the status of a number of the unnamed species is uncertain) of 27 380 (52%) of these species are endemic (cf. 26% for Fungi, 38% for all marine species, 46% for marine Animalia, 68% for all Animalia, 78% for vascular plants and 91% for terrestrial Animalia). In passing, examples are given both of the roles of the major taxa in providing ecosystem services and of the use of genetic resources in the New Zealand economy. Key words: Animalia, Chromista, freshwater, Fungi, genetic diversity, marine, New Zealand, Prokaryota, Protozoa, terrestrial.

Abstract Background: Among metazoans, retention of functional diet-derived chloroplasts (kleptoplasty) is known only from the sea slug taxon Sacoglossa (Gastropoda: Opisthobranchia). Intracellular maintenance of plastids in the slug's digestive epithelium has long attracted interest given its implications for understanding the evolution of endosymbiosis. However, photosynthetic ability varies widely among sacoglossans; some species have no plastid retention while others survive for months solely on photosynthesis. We present a molecular phylogenetic hypothesis for the Sacoglossa and a survey of kleptoplasty from representatives of all major clades. We sought to quantify variation in photosynthetic ability among lineages, identify phylogenetic origins of plastid retention, and assess whether kleptoplasty was a key character in the radiation of the Sacoglossa.

  • The Genera Moelleria Jeffreys, 1865, and Spiromoelleria Gen. Nov. in the North Pacific, with Description of a New Species of Spiromoelleria (Gastropoda: Turbinidae)
    THE VELIGER © CMS, Inc., 1984 The Veliger 27(2):219-226 (October 5, 1984) The Genera Moelleria Jeffreys, 1865, and Spiromoelleria gen. nov. in the North Pacific, with Description of a New Species of Spiromoelleria (Gastropoda: Turbinidae) by RAE BAXTER Box 96, Bethel, Alaska 99559 AND JAMES H. McLEAN Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History, Los Angeles, California 90007 Abstract. Two genera of minute turbinid gastropods in the subfamily Homalopomatinae, Moelleria Jeffreys, 1865, and Spiromoelleria gen. nov., are here called the Moelleria group. These genera differ from other homalopomatine genera in having a calcareous operculum with a multispiral pattern on its exterior surface, having the operculum unable to retract deeper than flush with the apertural margin, and lacking the apertural denticle of Homalopoma and related genera. Moelleria is monotypic for M. costulata (Moller, 1842), which has a circumboreal, offshore distribution. It has coalescing axial sculp­ ture of a kind unknown in other living trochacean genera. Spiral sculpture is characteristic of only two shallow-water North Pacific species in the new genus Spiromoelleria: S. quadrae (Dall, 1897), the type species, and S. kachemakensis spec. nov. Moelleria drusiana Dall, 1919, is synonymized with S. quadrae. The three species are sympatric in the Gulf of Alaska. and species have already been included in a checklist of INTRODUCTION the mollusks of Alaska (BAXTER, 1983); they are first Two SPECIES until now assigned to Moelleria Jeffreys, validated here. 1865, have major differences in sculpture, although these Collections examined include those of Rae Baxter (RB), differences have not previously been thought to merit ge­ the University of Alaska, Fairbanks (UAF), the Califor­ neric distinction.

  • Mollusks and a Crustacean from Early Oligocene Methane-Seep Deposits in the Talara Basin, Northern Peru
    Mollusks and a crustacean from early Oligocene methane-seep deposits in the Talara Basin, northern Peru STEFFEN KIEL, FRIDA HYBERTSEN, MATÚŠ HYŽNÝ, and ADIËL A. KLOMPMAKER Kiel, S., Hybertsen, F., Hyžný, M., and Klompmaker, A.A. 2020. Mollusks and a crustacean from early Oligocene methane- seep deposits in the Talara Basin, northern Peru. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 65 (1): 109–138. A total of 25 species of mollusks and crustaceans are reported from Oligocene seep deposits in the Talara Basin in north- ern Peru. Among these, 12 are identified to the species-level, including one new genus, six new species, and three new combinations. Pseudophopsis is introduced for medium-sized, elongate-oval kalenterid bivalves with a strong hinge plate and largely reduced hinge teeth, rough surface sculpture and lacking a pallial sinus. The new species include two bivalves, three gastropods, and one decapod crustacean: the protobranch bivalve Neilo altamirano and the vesicomyid bivalve Pleurophopsis talarensis; among the gastropods, the pyropeltid Pyropelta seca, the provannid Provanna pelada, and the hokkaidoconchid Ascheria salina; the new crustacean is the callianassid Eucalliax capsulasetaea. New combina- tions include the bivalves Conchocele tessaria, Lucinoma zapotalensis, and Pseudophopsis peruviana. Two species are shared with late Eocene to Oligocene seep faunas in Washington state, USA: Provanna antiqua and Colus sekiuensis; the Talara Basin fauna shares only genera, but no species with Oligocene seep fauna in other regions. Further noteworthy aspects of the molluscan fauna include the remarkable diversity of four limpet species, the oldest record of the cocculinid Coccopigya, and the youngest record of the largely seep-restricted genus Ascheria.
