Dear Bill,
Concerning Atsushi Ono's message about Hopkinsia nakamotoensis and Sakishimaia kondoi. I don't want to judge if the appendages are bulbous or not, but S. kondoi should have 6 pairs of them and H. nakamotoensis 5 pairs. Georg's, Mike's and Dieter's (at my website) photos show specimens with 5 pairs of appendages. This would make them Hopkinsia nakamotoensis.
Cheers,
Erwin

Thanks for drawing this to my attention.
I can count more than 5 - I just have to remember to use my other hand! If any one has a photo of Sakishimaia kondoi - with 6 pairs of appendages - I would be grateful.
Cheers,
Bill Rudman
