Dear Bill:

Your question concerning the white spots on the body of Berthella californica is a good one. I hope my colleagues on this coast agree with me. My observations have been that smaller specimens seem to have fewer, larger spots, proportionately than larger specimens. The Russian specimen's body proportions suggest that it is smaller individual, than the La Jolla specimen. The latter is a large animal, maybe 7-8 cm in length, or larger. Animals this size appear to have smaller, but more numerous spots.

Best regards,
Dave Behrens
