Philine in California

August 6, 1998
From: Michelle Chow

Thank you for all your time and help. I am grateful for the advise and expertise that you have given me. I have been watching the forum everyday and realize that comparisons with several other Philine from Japan and New Zealand will be necessary. Since there is an offshore Philine (thought to have been auriformis), there has been some interest in checking this one as well.

Again thank you.
Cheers

Dear Michelle,
I'm glad to have been able to help and I am enjoying looking at these animals for a change. The whole point behind the Forum is to get some interactivity going and to generate some interest in opisthobranch biology. When I came to the Australian Museum many years ago I brought a collection of specimens, mainly shells, of animals I had worked on in New Zealand. I didn't think there were any whole specimens of Philine auriformis but on checking this morning I find there are two! I don't know what condition they are in, after 30 years in preservative, but I'll let you know if I find anything interesting. .. Bill Rudman.
