Abstract: From small phosphatic nodules in sandy deposits of Neogene age, previously excavated at Emblem (northwest Belgium) and currently suction dredged at Langenboom (southeast Netherlands), several chelipeds as well as fragments of carapace and abdomen of an axiid shrimp have been col- lected. These remains are here described as a new genus and species, which constitute the first record of the family Axiidae from Neogene strata in the North Sea Basin and the second species to be re- ported from Pliocene strata worldwide.

BOUCHER2 ABSTRACT: The rich opisthobranch fauna of the Marshall Islands has re­ mained largely unstudied because of the geographic remoteness of these Pacific islands. We report on a long-term collection ofOpisthobranchia assembled from the atolls of Bikini, Enewetak, Kwajalein, Rongelap, and Ujelang . Fifty-seven new records for the Marshall Islands are recorded, raising to 103 the number of species reported from these islands. Aspects ofthe morphology, ecology, devel­ opment, and systematics of 76 of these species are discussed. THE OPISTHOBRANCH FAUNA OF THE Marshall viously named species are discussed, 57 of Islands, a group of 29 atolls and five single which are new records for the Marshall islands situated 3500 to 4400 km west south­ Islands (Table 1). west of Honolulu, Hawaii, is rich and varied but has not been reported on in any detail.

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.

Even after a long meandering consideration, the identification was still suspended around a few genera of Cephalaspidea. Especially all the specimens appeared to conform exactly to Gastropteron in every character of the genus excepting that they had no shell. However, it was informed that these specimens were fixed in BourN's solution. Then it is very possible that their shells were decalcified and extremely softened, or dissolved in the fixative that no piece of solid shell might be found in any of these preserved specimens. Or, it is very probable, too, that there occur some species of the genus without shell as this structure shows a tendency of intensive degeneration in already known members of this genus. Thus after all, this collection was concluded as of Gastropteron. Very for­ tunately the collection was accompanied with precise colour illustrations of live specimens made by the members of the Biological Laboratory of the Imperial Household.
