The purpose of the present report is to coordinate the data (thus facilitating use of the newer literature) and to cor- rect typographical and other errors in the book itself; also to indicate omissions that have come to light. The cut-off date for canvass of new literature is April 1, 1975* A few special conventions that were adopted in this work should be explained: 1) For each entry, the page number is to edition 2 of Sea She 11s .. The number symbol (#) is used to save space. New entries (i.e., species to be added) are shown by suffix letters: -a, -b , -c , etc., for those that alphabetically follow the stated entry; e.g., on page 5, "page 35, no. 48a: M. cuneata." These new entries are also indicated by wavy underscoring instead of the usual italic symbol. If, however, the additions alphabetically precede the stated number, the suffix letters -x, -y, and -z are used. For example, on page 10 "page 257, no. 654x" comes before the first species of Abra in the book. To have numbered it 6530 would have made it seem to belong in the preceding genus, Semele . 2) Comments submitted by colleagues are credited as " fide .... ( in lift .)" or, if already published, are cited in the conventional manner of b ib 1 iograph ic references, with parentheses and date. Range extensions, however, that have been published are indicated by square brackets and the author's name. Unpublished extensions are cited as "fide .... ( in 1 it . ) " We have not included many of the unpublished extensions that we might have, pai'tly in order not to make this work of undue length, partly to give those people who have made the dis- coveries the privilege of announcing them. 3) Another use of square brackets is for species that must be treated out of their previous sequence in order to preserve alpha- betical order. This may happen when there has been revisionary shifting; for example, on page 29 of this work, no. 1015 must be after no. 1018 because of rearrangement of subgenera. 3 . « Bibliographic references in parentheses are to those cited in the Supplementary Bibliography, pages 56-66 of this work. This Bibliography includes not only the recent publications since 1971 but also earlier references accidentally overlooked or that should be called to the attention of West Coast workers. f Y. e acknowledge, with thanks, the assistance of all those who have pointed out needed corrections or brought to our attention material we otherwise would have missed, especially: Hans Bertsch, Frank Bernard, Beatrice Burch, James Carlton, Helen DuShane, Bertram Draper, Anthony D'Attilio, George Hanselman, William Emerson, George Kennedy, James McLean, Eveline Marcus, Louie Marincovich, Leroy Poorman, George Radwin, Barry Roth, Donald Shasky, Carol Skoglund, Judith Smith, H.

A total of 48 specimens were caught with dorsal mantle length (ML) ranging from 4-36 mm. They occurred with amean density of 0.15 ind. x 1000 mJ and were present in 38% of 33 RMT-8 samples. G. glacialis was the only cranchiid squid found in the Weddell Sea between 66" and 74"s. Its early life stageswere concentrated in the layers below the summer thermocline (>50 m) and body sizes appeared to increase towards deeper water layers. For biochemical analyses, nine specimens of G. glacialis (ML 6-18 mm) were sampled in the eastern Weddell Seabetween 185-520mwater depth in JanuaryFebruaIy 1985. Totallipidcontentsrangedfrom8%-11% dry weight (DW) with phospholipids being the main lipid component (43-56% of total lipid). Storage lipids (triacylglycerols) made up 18-26% of total lipid. The relatively low lipid contents may reflect the early developmental stage of the specimens examined. The data presented give the first information on geographical and vertical distribution patterns of early life stages of G.

Abstract Background: Among metazoans, retention of functional diet-derived chloroplasts (kleptoplasty) is known only from the sea slug taxon Sacoglossa (Gastropoda: Opisthobranchia). Intracellular maintenance of plastids in the slug's digestive epithelium has long attracted interest given its implications for understanding the evolution of endosymbiosis. However, photosynthetic ability varies widely among sacoglossans; some species have no plastid retention while others survive for months solely on photosynthesis. We present a molecular phylogenetic hypothesis for the Sacoglossa and a survey of kleptoplasty from representatives of all major clades. We sought to quantify variation in photosynthetic ability among lineages, identify phylogenetic origins of plastid retention, and assess whether kleptoplasty was a key character in the radiation of the Sacoglossa.

  • DISCUSSION of the FLORA of GUADALUPE ISLAND Dr. Reid Moran1
    DISCUSSION OF THE FLORA OF GUADALUPE ISLAND Dr. Reid Moran1: Guadalupe Island lies about 250 miles south- southwest of San Diego, California, and about 160 miles off the peninsula of Baja California, Mexico. Volcanic in origin and sep­ arated from the peninsula by depths of about 12,000 feet, it is clearly an oceanic island. Among the vascular plants recorded from Guadalupe Island and its islets, apparently 164 species are native. Goats, introduced more than a century ago, have eliminated some species and re­ duced others nearly to extinction. Outer Islet, a goatless refugium two miles south of the main island, has a native florula of 36 species. Nine of these (including Euphorbia misera and Lavatera occidentalis) are very scarce on the main island, largely confined to cliffs inaccessible to goats; another one (Coreopsis gigantea) has not been collected there since 1875; and five others (includ­ ing Lavatera lindsayi, Dudleya guadalupensis, and Rhus integri¬ folia) have never been recorded from there. Although it is not known that these five ever did occur on the main island, presum­ ably they did but were exterminated by the goats. These five, comprising 14 per cent of the native florula of Outer Islet, give the only suggestion we have as to how many species must have been eliminated from the main island by the goats before they could be found by botanists. Also reported from Guadalupe Island are 42 species that prob­ ably are not native. Several of these, each found only once, ap­ parently have not persisted; but, with the severe reduction of many native plants by the goats, other introduced plants have become abundant.

This study was carried out, through a total of 271 scuba dives, from 2017 to the beginning of 2020 in four sites located along the Ionian coasts of Sicily: Catania, Aci Trezza, Santa Maria La Scala and Santa Tecla. Through a photographic data collection, 95 taxa, representing 17.27% of all Mediterranean marine Heterobranchia, were reported. The order with the highest number of found species was that of Nudibranchia. Among the study areas, Catania, Santa Maria La Scala and Santa Tecla had not a remarkable difference in the number of species, while Aci Trezza had the lowest number of species. Moreover, among the 95 taxa, four species considered rare and six non-indigenous species have been recorded. Since the presence of a high diversity of sea slugs in a relatively small area, the central-eastern coast of Sicily could be considered a zone of high biodiversity for the marine Heterobranchia fauna.

  • Seventy-Five Years of Molluscs: a History of the American
    Amer. Malac. Bull. 28: 191-213 (2010) Seventy-fi ve years of molluscs: A history of the American Malacological Society on the occasion of its 75th annual meeting Paula M. Mikkelsen Paleontological Research Institution, 1259 Trumansburg Road, Ithaca, New York 14850, U.S.A. Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract: The American Malacological Union (now Society), founded in 1931 as a national organization of collectors, students, professionals, and others interested in the holistic study of molluscs, is now an international society mainly of professionals. Although diminished in size, it continues to attract and fund students, publish a respected peer-reviewed journal, and host annual meetings featuring world-class symposia. In recognition of the society’s 75th annual meeting in 2009, I provide a detailed account of the founding, meetings, membership, publications, governance, and societal identity of AMS, gleaned from meeting programs, newsletters, scrapbooks, correspondence, and the memories of Past Presidents and other members. Anniversaries are times of celebration, remembering, Congress as the Populist Party candidate in 1898, and for refl ection, and summarizing. The 75th annual meeting1 of the governor of Maine in 1900 as the Socialist Party candidate American Malacological Union (AMU; now Society, hereaf- (Martin 1995, Murray 1999, see additional references on ter AMS) held in Ithaca, New York, in the summer of 2009, Lermond cited by Coan et al. 2009).

Today’s AMS is fraught with problems: included Indian artifacts, rocks and minerals, herbarium diminishing membership, increasing costs, decreasing return specimens, stuffed mammals and birds, bird eggs and nests, on investments, and fewer and fewer members willing to hold pinned insects, and the largest shell collection in the state of offi ce.
