EDITOR’S NOTE

I am looking fora neg to keep the content of
the Cpisthobranch Newsletter similar to past
years in terms of open communications and
ersonal notes. [I hope that everyone will read
r. Edmunds’ comments and seriously consider the
course the ON should take. Asa pure information
resource, I feel the ON has provided a most
valuable service and it can continue to do so in
the future. I would like to provide. the
pecan forum as well but that will depend on
he majority of you and what you feel is proper.
I definitely do not want to lose the open comments
on all aspects of opisthobranchs.

INFORMATION WANTED

From Bob Henderson (Pacific Eee Labs,
Inc., P.O. Box 536, Venice, CA 90291): "I’ 4
interested in finding out whether anyone else has
run across incidences of color attenuation or
loss as a function of increasing depth. I ve
collected a few specimens of deep water
Archidoris which seem to point to this trend but
not anywhere near enough to make any claims. Id
be interested in any input on Archidoris or other
dorid species."

EDITGR'S NOTES

i have completed work on the new list combining
branch references from volumes 1-23 of The
Veliger and am adding in volume 24. The project
nas many hours' work and has had to fit in with a
job change and other happenings in my life.
Carlton's list and Behrens' list have been
included [June 20, 1982] and I have printed a few
sets which are availabie at $4.95 each pilus sales
tax for California residents and $1.00 for airmail
postage. This will only be available a suppiement
because of the size and printing costs. I will
print only as many copies as I have received
requests for prior to printing.

I welcome additional lists and card files of
taxonomic and subject information. They will be
compiled into future supplements.

READER FORUM

From Dave Behrens: Comment on Malcolm Edmunds!
letter -- "The Opisthebranch Newsletter is in its
fourteenth year. Although not necessarily onthe
shelves of all major universities it has had wide
distribution among branchologists worldwide, and
is found in institutional libraries where active
branch researchers reside, particularly in the
western USA. I was unaware that it was the ON's
policy not to publish papers, and on the contrary,
solicitations have appeared several times in the
past few years inviting manuscripts on all
opisthobranch issues, short of species descrip-
tions. I believe that the size and significance
of the contributions will be metered by the value
the author places upon his paper and his opinion

f the ON as the proper place for its publication.
Those papers to appear during the past two --
three years seem to me to be very appropriate.

I would, however, recommend making arrange-
ments for "Bio abstracting" of ON publications
when they appear, to provide wider exposure.
Concerning the concept of the newsletter as a
source to exchange ideas and views -=- any
sounding board is only as good as its
contributors. I am highly disappointed at the
lack of support given the GN from my fellow
colleagues, particulariy from foreign shores.
The ON needs material to make it the publication
that Dr. Edmunds, myself, and others wish it to be.
In away, we are all part of the newsletter. Steve
prints what we give him. If we wish to improve or
purify the ON we need to contribute along these
lines. -- D.W. Behrens"

From Kathe Jensen: "Sorry you couldn't make it
to Florida while I was there. I hada pretty nice
week there. I finished up a manuscript on the
word-processor (of course, the word-processing
system at CVI [College of the Virgin Islands] is
not compatible with the one at FIT [Florida
institute of Technology]), and I locked at a new
alysia sp.. which Kerry [Clark] or one of his
Students is going to describe. My species list of
Ascoglossa from St. Thomas is still increasing,
but there are very few of each species, so I
haven't been able to do much research. I still
nope to get enough Oxynoe antillarum to make a

OPISTHOBRANCH NEWSLETTER July 1982

thorough comparison with 0. azuropunctata. St.
Thomas is the original locality for ©. antillarum
but if dvesn't seem to be very common.

Considering Dr. Edmund's note, I tend to agree
with him. The ON should basically be a forum for
exchange of news and comments, and not for
publication of original material. it is not
because I think the standard of papers submitted
to ON is lower tnan any other papers, but because
ON reaches only a limited number of people (just
look at the list of names of people you have lost
contact with), and published at rather
irregular intervals.

Also, I jand probably many other "new"
subscribers) would greatly appreciate it if you
could print a current address list of present
subscribers. This would greatly facilitate
mailing reprints.

After about June 1st, I will be back in Florida
for the summer. I hope to combine a vacation in
Denmark with the Anglo-French Malacological
Symposium in London in September. After that I
don't know what I'll be doing." -- Kathe Jensen

PERSONAL NOTES

Dr. Claude Poizat writes that copies of his
recent papers are available. Please write to him
direct.

From Ian Loch: "I spent a few weeks on a
busman ‘s holiday diving in far North Queensland,
from Lizard Island to Raine Island upnear Torres
Strait, an area I had not collected before.
Results were mildly disappointing. About 90 lots
of macro opisthobranchs coliected by myself and
friends, invelving just over 40 species in 22
dives, only 2 of which were new to me, a striking
Bomella with a mosaic pattern and small humped
Nendrodoris which I initially mistook for a
lamellariid. However, we did find a number of
additional specimens for scme undescribed
species of chromodorids previously represented
by only a few specimens. I nad expected to find
species usually recorded in islands north of
Australia, but while this was true cf some
prosobranchs, the opisthobranechs were fairly
quiet. Still, did not see a single aplysiid during
the whole trip, which must constitute some sort of
record.

A few subsequent dives around Sydney were
somewhat anti-climatic when the visibility
dropped from the up to 100 ft. up north to 5 ft.
here."

Don & Kathy Cadien are the proud parents of a
new baby boy. They are working to finish a room
addition to their hcuse in San Pedro. Mary, their
daugiiter, is doing fine.
