MARINEMOLLUSCSOFMAYOR ISLAND EN M Llligan . Most of The 127. MARINE MOLLUSCS OF MAYOR ISLAND E.N. Mllligan. Most of the collecting was from open rock and sheltered reef habitats (large stones and boulders). Although sandy beaches were present at Opo, Omapu and Orira (N.W.Bay), they appeared to be too steep for colonization by sand flat molluscs. Some sublittoral species which encroach into the tidal zone on sand flats were found Yi/ashed up on the beach, e.g. Barysplra spp. Omapu Bay was more exposed than Opo, and in • the former a good deal of sand occurred with the stones where collect• ing was done. Opo Bay supplied more typical sheltered reef condit• ions with large immovable rock blocks rising from below extreme low tide, and with smaller stones amongst them which at low tide were generally free from sand, Collecting was not primarily for compiling a species list. Doubtless a few common species widespread in dist• ribution were not collected or recorded for inclusion, e.g. Melag- raphia, Nerita9 Siphonaria. Eighty species were recorded, - the number being increased by 14 specimens, in drift. Some are from shallow water, but others are deep water or pelagic, These latter two are characteristic of exposed coasts and islands where the land shelves deeply off-shore. Besides these there is the record of 4 Cephalopods, 3 of which are rather rare on our coasts, ' Spirula spirula, the common white ram's horn•shell, has been found to live in depths between 110 fathoms to 1,100 fathoms. One, specimen of Tethys tryoni was found washed up but none were•found in pools. This evidently was not the season for these annual tectibranchs to come into shallow water to breed. The specimen found was purplish and not the brown colour of specimens found in pools. The purplish colour appears to be characteristic of this mollusc- during its off• shore phase. Of interest also were two species, Notosinister in- felix and Joculator dirempus9 originally found alive only by dredging, which were found living in Microdictyon in a deep high-tidal pool* Washings from this algae produced the large number of 24 species. In the following lists numbers 'following the species are those- in the check lists of Powell (1946 and 1.953).

Milligan, The area studied was limited to Old Woman's Cove which included dissected headland and sheltered rocks and boul• ders. Collecting was concentrated on the rock and boulder comm• unities for the purpose of making comparisons with equivalent comm• unities occurring at Little Bj.rrier and Mayor Is. Open rock usually shows a characteristic fauna for one province and this is probably due to the high degree of specialisation required in a more unfav• ourable environment. The greater variety of more favourable con• ditions among sheltered rocks allow ready colonisation by a variety of species and consequently comparisons within a single province can be more readily made in this habitat. At the head of Old Woman's Cove the rough stones and boulders were lying in sand from neap to higher tide levels. At neap tide the undersides of these stones were covered with large numbers of the Rissoid Merelina lyalliana and less comm• only with the bivalves Hochstetteria munita and Trichomuscuius bar- batus. Merelina was found occurring in the same manner on the sandy Omapu Bay stones of Mayor Is. but apparently without the other two species. At low tide spring the sand level dropped \ and the rocks were piled on one another, and covered with a e^" ^ pj\ uous mass of sponge and .ascidians.

Vermeij; e-mail: [email protected] Downloaded from (Received 5 September 2013; accepted 10 February 2014) ABSTRACT The shells of many marine gastropods have ventrally directed serrations (serial projections) at the edge http://mollus.oxfordjournals.org/ of the adult outer lip. These poorly studied projections arise as extensions either of external spiral cords or of interspaces between cords. This paper describes taxonomic, phylogenetic, architectural and func- tional aspects of serrations. Cord-associated serrations occur in cerithiids, strombids, the personid Distorsio anus, ocenebrine muricids and some cancellariids. Interspace-associated serrations are phylo- genetically much more widespread, and occur in at least 16 family-level groups. The nature of serration may be taxonomically informative in some fissurellids, littorinids, strombids and costellariids, among other groups. Serrated outer lips occur only in gastropods in which the apex points more backward than upward, but the presence of serrations is not a necessary byproduct of the formation of spiral sculp- tural elements.

Biography James Hamilton McLean was born in Detroit, Michigan, on June 17, 1936. The McLean family moved to Dobbs Ferry, New York, on the Hudson River in 1940, a short train ride and subway ride away from the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH). His brother Hugh recalled that, “AMNH became the place of choice to go to whenever we could get someone to take us. Those visits opened our eyes to the variety and possibilities of what was out there, waiting for us to discover and collect.” From an early age James seemed destined to have a career at a museum (Figs 1–2).

  • Fossil and Recent Molluscan Types in the Auckland War Memorial Museum
    Fossil and Recent molluscan types in the Auckland War Memorial Museum. Part 3: Gastropoda (Patellogastropoda and Vetigastropoda) Wilma M. Blom Auckland War Memorial Museum Abstract The Marine Department of Auckland War Memorial Museum has an actively growing type collection with over 1770 primary types and a further 1836 paratypes and paralectotypes. The majority are molluscan, and this third part of a catalogue of these collections reviews the types for 12 Patellogastropoda and 184 Vetigastropoda species and subspecies. It deals with 130 primary types and 142 secondary type lots, which are split between 140 Recent taxa and 56 fossil taxa. Eleven of the holotypes reviewed here are illustrated for the first time. Keywords Auckland Museum; name-bearing types; Mollusca; Patellogastropoda; Vetigastopoda. INTRODUCTION time, and those used by early curators are often vastly different from modern systems and methodologies. For The Marine Department of Auckland War Memorial example, many early collectors, curators included, did Museum (Auckland Museum) holds over 1770 lots of not record collection dates. So, many early specimens name-bearing types, in the form of holotypes, neotypes, lack this information and the only way to get indicative syntypes and lectotypes, and a further 1836 paratypes collecting dates is if it is known when – and where – and paralectotypes.

Nakamura Seto Marine Biological Laboratory, Kyoto University, Shirahama, Wakayama 649-22, Japan With Text-figures 1-35 and Tables 1-18 Abstract Karyotype of 27 species of eight archaeogastropod families were investigated. Including these results, karyological information on the Archaeogastropoda was reviewed based on the data stored in CISMOCH (Computerized Index System for Molluscan Chromosomes). Conservation in chromosome number and morphology has been urged and was confirmed in major archaeogastropod groups: Patellacea (Acmaeidae and Patellidae), Neritacea (marine neri­ tids) and Trochacea (Trochidae, Turbinidae and Stomatellidae). These archaeogastropods have certain characteristic karyotypes including chromosome number, size and morphology. Remarkable diversification in karyotype has occurred primarily in special groups having a secondary limpet-form or expanding from the sea to brackish/fresh-water areas. No results have been obtained in support of the hypotheses on an evolutionary tendency of change in chromosome number, while evolutionary polyploidy is hypothesized to have occurred in a her­ maphroditic ancestor at a very early stage of gastropod radiation. Introduction The first studies in the field of molluscan cytology date from the late nineteenth century. Because of inferior optical equipments and method, however, many of the early reports have been shown to be inaccurate (Patterson & Burch, 1978).

    LOS ANGELES CONTRIBUTIONS COUNTY MUSEUM IN SCIENCE NUMBER 100 MAY 5, 1966 A NEW GENUS OF FISSURELLIDAE AND A NEW NAME FOR A MISUNDERSTOOD SPECIES OF WEST AMERICAN DIODORA By JAMES H. MCLEAN LOS ANGELES COUNTY MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY • EXPOSITION PARK Los ANGELES, CALIFORNIA 90007 A NEW GENUS OF FISSURELLIDAE AND A NEW NAME FOR A MISUNDERSTOOD SPECIES OF WEST AMERICAN DIODORA By JAMES H. MCLEAN1 ABSTRACT: A new genus, Scelidotoma, type species Emar- ginula bella Gabb, is proposed for three North Pacific species, and a new name, Diodora arnoldi, is proposed, with adequate descrip­ tion, for "Diodora murina" of authors, not of Arnold, 1903. During the course of a revision of the Fissurellidae of the temperate prov­ inces of western North America, I have found that one new genus is needed and also a new name for a species. Preliminary to the use of these names in a dissertation submitted to Stanford University I am here describing them. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am grateful to Dr. A. Myra Keen and Dr. Rolf Bolin for criticism and reading of the manuscript. Dr. Robert Robertson provided comparative ma­ terial from the collection of the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences (ANSP). Photographs were made by Perfecto Mary and Armando Solis. This investigation was supported (in part) by a fellowship, number 18613, from the Division of General Medical Sciences, U.S. Public Health Services. The generic assignment of the uncommon Californian species known as Hemitonia bella (Gabb) has not been questioned by American malacologists, although Japanese authors have for some time been using a different genus for two related species that occur in Japanese waters.
