Dear Bill,

Here is the Chelidonura electra I mentioned in my message about mating & trail-following in Chelidonura inornata. This species also traversed the sponge, apparently following the same mucous trail.

Dear Mary Jane,
I think Chelidonura electra is one of the most beautiful of the opisthobranchs. It does not have the showiness or gaudy colours of a chomodorid but its simple lines and colour certainly give it class.

Bill Rudman.
