- Title
A Bivalve Gastropod.
- Authors
BURN, ROBERT
- Abstract
IN the course of a collecting trip to Torquay, Victoria, in quest of marine molluscs, I had the great fortune to take alive that most peculiar bivalve, Edenttellina typica Gatliff and Gabriel. Much to my surprise I observed that the animal was that of a gastropod and apparently congeneric with the recently described Tamanovalva limax Kawaguti and Baba from Japan1. Even more surprising is the fact that I also collected, along with the above species, a second species of bivalved gastropod which although of the same group is undoubtedly of a different genus; shell and animal characters indicate many differences, but there is still a helicoid apex on the left valve only. Both species were collected on a species of the green seaweed Caulerpa, where it lives, as the Japanese authors indicate, among the roots.
