Arctic Megabenthos Velutina velutina ((O. F. Müller, 1776), ) Phylum: Mollusca Class: Gastropoda Order: Littorinimorpha Family: Velutinidae Genus: Velutina Synonyms: Velutina laevigata (O. F. Müller, 1777), Velutina laevigata (Linnaeus, 1758) Description. - Shell with 3 convex rounded whorls, deeply impressed suture and well developed calcareous layer and periostracum. Upper part of spire projects slightly above inflated last whorl which occupies almost entire shell. Protoconch small, white, uncovered by periostracum. Periostracum fibrous, yellowish or brown, tightly adherent to shell forming closely spaced discontinuous spiral crests. Intervals between crests are equal to or 2 times the crest thickness. Adult individuals with 22-30 crests on last whorl. Sculpture on calcareous layer of ir¬regular growth lines crossing spiral riblets. The ribs correspond to crests on per¬iostracum. Aperture broad, almost rounded, opaque-white on inside. Inner lip slightly turned back on outside. Measurements. - Largest seen specimen: height 15 mm, length 26 mm, width 20 mm. Remarks. - The species is separated from the closely related V. (V.) schneideri by a more strongly developed periostracum structure with 22-30 spiral crests on last whorl. Distribution. - In the Arctic Region the species is circumpolar. In the Pacific it occurs in the Bering and northern parts of Okhotsk and Japan Seas as well as Gulf of Alaska. In accordance with MacGinitie (1959), the species is found in Monterey Bay (California) and in the Atlantic Ocean it is distributed to Cape Hatteras and Portugal. Ecology. - The species occurs at depths from 0.5 to 408 m, most common at 20 to 150 m on mud, gravel and pebble mixture and muddy sand substrata, often in Laminaria and other algae as well as on ascidians.

THOME U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 2800 Cottage Way, Rm. W-2605, Sacramento, California 95825, USA Abstract. We measured habitat variables and the occurrence and density of the Page springsnail, Pyrgulopsis mor- risoni (Hershler & Landye, 1988), in the Oak Creek Springs Complex of central Arizona during the spring and summer of 2001. Occurrence and high density of P. morrisoni were associated with gravel and pebble substrates, and absence and low density with silt and sand. Occurrence and high density were also associated with lower levels of dissolved oxygen and low conductivity. Occurrence was further associated with shallower water depths. Water velocity may play an important role in maintaining springsnail habitat by influencing substrate composition and other physico-chemical variables. Our study constitutes the first empirical effort to define P. morrisoni habitat and should be useful in assessing the relative suitability of spring environments for the species. The best approach to manage springsnail habitat is to maintain springs in their natural state.

VERMEIJ* Department of Earth and Planetary Science, University of California, Davis, Davis, CA,USA C D Received 19 April 2015; revised 30 June 2016; accepted for publication 30 June 2016 The limpet form – a cap-shaped or slipper-shaped univalved shell – convergently evolved in many gastropod lineages, but questions remain about when, how often, and under which circumstances it originated. Except for some predation-resistant limpets in shallow-water marine environments, limpets are not well adapted to intense competition and predation, leading to the prediction that they originated in refugial habitats where exposure to predators and competitors is low. A survey of fossil and living limpets indicates that the limpet form evolved independently in at least 54 lineages, with particularly frequent origins in early-diverging gastropod clades, as well as in Neritimorpha and Heterobranchia. There are at least 14 origins in freshwater and 10 in the deep sea, E F with known times ranging from the Cambrian to the Neogene.

This latitudinal trend is markedly different from trends for terres- trial clades. The zonal variation in C/NC ratios within bins is largely due to differences in geographic ranges of the groups; for example, tropical carnivorous species range farther than non-carnivorous ones, thus overlapping them in more latitudinal bins. Differences in the distribution and diversity of carnivorous and non-carnivorous species may arise from a number of sources, including variability of primary production in the tropical eastern Pacific, patchiness of substrates to which non-carnivores are adapted, narrow dietary specializations of tropical carnivores, and higher provinciality found in extratropical regions.

Velutina Schneideri (Friele, 1886, )
Arctic Megabenthos Velutina schneideri (Friele, 1886, ) Phylum: Mollusca Class: Gastropoda Order: Littorinimorpha Family: Velutinidae Genus: Velutina Description. Shell broadly ear-shaped, with 2.5 convex rounded whorls and deeply impressed suture. Spire projects slightly above last whorl. Protoconch one-whorled, uncovered by periostracum. Last whorl moderately convex. Peri¬ostracum yellow or light brown, less developed than calcareous layer, occasion¬ally obsolete on spiral surface. Sculpture of frequently disposed growth lines crossing spiral ribs. The latter not only present on periostracum but also on calcareous layer. Riblets vary greatly in number and frequency. Last whorl usually with 12-22 riblets with intervals near shell edge exceeding their width by 2-4 times. Aperture roundly oval, with thickened edge because of periostracum. Calcareous lining of aperture bluish-white, opaque. Measurements. Largest seen specimen: height 8.8 mm, length 15.5 mm, width 13.5 mm. Remarks. - Because of great variability most investigators consider this species synonymous with V. (V.) velutina. In typical V.(V.) schneideri, riblets are delicate and disposed at intervals 4-5 times their width and not exceeding 20 in number; occasionally they are not well developed. Specimens morphologically similar to V.(V.) velutina have wider riblets, and intervals exceed the width 2-3 times. Periostracum usually is better developed. The shape of penis easily distinguish the species. In V.(V.) schneideri it is wide and flattened at the base, terminating into a pointed long flagellated appendage. In V.(V.) velutina, penis is in form of a broad cylinder bordered by wide folds at the end. Distribution. Greenland, the Norwegian, Barents, Kara, Laptev and East Siber¬ian Seas as well as North Kurile Strait.

G.Atkinson Arctic Biological Station, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, 555 St. Pierre Boulevard, Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue, Quebec H9X 3R4,Canada ABSTRACT: Calonc values were determined for 121 species of cold-water benthic invertebrates, 109 of which are representative of a soft bottom community in Frobisher Bay, Northwest Territories (Canada). The mean calonc value for the community was 5.424 kcal g-' ash-free dry weight (SD f 0.403). This is not significantly different from values from lower latitudes, as has been suggested for planktonic communities. With one exception, the Ascidiacea, there were no significant differences in mean caloric value among major taxa. The lnterspecific distnbution of AFDW caloric value is discussed; present data support the growlng evidence that the natural pattern is symmetrical with values concentrated about a mean of 5.4 to 5.7 kcal g-' AFDW for benthic invertebrates. Caloric equivalents for biomass estimates and large-scale community comparisons may be derived from the regression of dry weight caloric value on percent organic content (dry weight): Y (kcal g-' AFDW) = -0.3897 + 0.0605 X (% organic content). when the organic fraction is determined directly. Two problematical taxa, Porifera and Echinodermata, are discussed and separate regressions are presented.

Spermatogenesis of the Gastropod, Pila Globosa, with S Pecial
1959 423 Spermatogenesis of the Gastropod , Pila globosa, with S pecial Reference to the Cytoplasmic Organelles G. P. Sharma, Brij L. Gupta , and O. P. Mittal Department of Zoology, Panjab University , Hoshiarpur, Punjab, India Received December 22, 1958 Introduction The gastropods constitute the classical material for the study of sperma togenesis. The two most important aspects which have been the subject of controversy for the cytologists are the acrosome formation and the dimorphic sperms. Whereas the disagreement regarding the acrosome formation has been in the pulmonates, the problem of dimorphic sperms is restricted to the order prosobranchia of the class Gastropoda. According to Wilson (1925), von Siebold (1837) was the first worker to report dispermy in the prosobranch, Paludina (now called Viviparus). He described two types of sperms, viz., worm-shaped or oligopyrene, and the hair-shaped or eupyrene. This preliminary report of von Siebold was later on confirmed and ex tended by a number of subsequent workers like Meves (1902), Gatenby (1919), Ankel (1924), Alexenko (1926), Tuzet (1930), Woodard (1940), Pol lister and Pollister (1943) etc., in Viviparus (Paludina) vivipara, and a number of other prosobranchs. All of these workers have based their obser vations on the fixed and sectioned material. Pollister and Pollister (1943) have, however, studied only the chromosomes and centrosomes in both the eupyrene and the oligopyrene sperms of Viviparus vivipara. Recently Hanson et al. (1952) have worked out the detailed structure of the eupyrene and the oligopyrene sperms in the prosobranch, Viviparus. These authors examined the living cells under the phase-contrast microscope and the fixed material with the electron microscope and the various cyto chemical techniques.
