Box 1390, San Diego, California 92112 INTRODUCTION In November of 1946, S. Stillman Berry began the private publication of his LEAFLETS IN MALACOLOGY which he instituted to facilitate the "publication and dissemination. .. of new mollusks of special interest under study" primarily by him. LEAFLETS IN MALACOLOGY continued for twenty- three years concluding with Volume 1, Number 26 in December 1969. During these years, Dr. Berry described 99 marine molluscan species, renamed one species, and named 19 new genera in the "LEAFLETS." However, only two of the species were figured and few of the types have been illus- trated since. It is the purpose of this paper to figure all of the types of the species named by Dr. Berry in the "LEAFLETS," with the exception of the eight species of Octopus. This project would not have been possible without the efforts of Leroy and Forrest Poorman who saw the need to illustrate Dr.

The stem group from which the Latrogastropoda originated lived during or shortly before Aptian/Albian time (100–125 Ma). Several groups of Latrogastropoda that lived at the time of deposition of the Campanian to Maastrichtian (65–83 Ma) Ripley Formation have no recognized living counterparts. These Late Cretaceous species include the Sarganoidea, with the families Sarganidae, Weeksiidae and Moreidae, which have a rounded and low protoconch with a large embryonic whorl.

  • Atoll Research Bulletin No
    ATOLL RESEARCH BULLETIN NO. 410 ISSUED BY NATIONAL MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY SMITWSONIAN INSTITUTION WASHINGTON, D.C., U.S.A. FEBRUARY 1994 CHAPTER 12 MARINE MOLLUSCS OF THE COCOS (KEELING) ISLANDS Compared to other localities in the eastern Indian Ocean, the molluscs of the Cocos (Keeling) Islands were relatively well known prior to the Western Australian Museum survey in February 1989. Two short papers on the molluscs of the atolls were presented by Marratt (1879) and Rees (1950). A much more extensive list was prepared by Abbott (1950). Mrs. R.E.M. Ostheimer and Mrs. V.O. Maes spent the first two months of 1963 on Cocos collecting for the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, as part of the International Indian Ocean Expedition. aes (1967) presented a complete list of the species collected, and included records of species recorded by Marratt (1879) or Abbott (1950) that she did not collect on the islands. A total of 504 species were recorded, 379 of which were identified to species. With their longer time on the atoll Maes and Ostheimer naturally collected more species than the Western Australian Musuem expedition, but their collections were primarily restricted to relatively shallow water as they did not scuba-dive. They did however do some dredging in the lagoon. The Museum team collected in many of the same localities as Maes and Ostheimer, but also dived in a number of areas. Because of this many of the species which live in deeper water that were recorded by only a few specimens by Maes (1967) were shown to in fact be common.

  • 1 Northwest Florida Species List
    NORTHWEST FLORIDA SPECIES LIST This list, which contains shells found in the onshore and offshore waters of the Florida Panhandle, was prepared by the members of the Gulf Coast Shell Club. The list is arranged alphabetically by family. The numbers to the left of the shell name refer to the corresponding species as found in American Seashells, Second Edition by Dr R. Tucker Abbott. An asterisk indicates that a name change to the family, species, genus, (or all) has occurred since publication. Shells annotated with a superscript 1 indicate form names that may or may not be valid but are useful for identification. Shells annotated with a superscript 2 are shells from the 1994 Keeler and Robertson survey of the Apalachicola Marine Estuary and immediate offshore areas and represent species not currently held by GCSC members but that are deemed native to our area. Common name for the shell and its normal adult size range columns are included. There are 635 shells (including forms) on this list as of the latest update in March, 2013. Our thanks go to Dr. Harry Lee of the Jacksonville Shell Club for his assistance in this compilation. A caution: Any list of this type is subject to frequent name changes as the science involved progresses.
