The presence or absence of valvular tooth may • 0 • 000 000 be related to ecological conditions. Though the o~ ______~ ______~ ______~ two groups often occur in the same sample (Lynts, 1962), the rigorous ecological conditions found in Florida Bay may mask the true relationships. Both groups appear to prefer coarser sediment, as Lynts (Ibid., Table 6) showed their frequency indicated •o a direct relationship with sand-size particles and an o inverse relationship with silt-size particles. Possibly, group 2 is a new mutation in which the normal type with valvular tooth is dominant over the mu­ tant lacking the valvular tooth. The true relation­ ship between the two groups will not be understood until they are cultured and lineage studies under­ taken.
