Philine in California
August 4, 1998
From: Mike Behrens
Bill,
My name is Mike Behrens. I have been studying Philine in Morro Bay, California, and am now in need of some assistance with taxonomy. I have been in touch with Michelle Chow at Bodega Bay and have been following your discussion over the net. I had been under the assumption that the species I was working with was P. auriformis based on the morphology of the shell, radula, and gizzard plates, which were outlined in Gosliner, 1995. The recent discussion of reproductive system anatomy was beyond my comfort level in terms if dissections, however I am willing to give it a try. The species that I have looks most like the unidentified Philine #2. I will be working with Terry Gosliner to try and straighten out some of the internal anatomy questions. I will keep you posted of what we are come up with.
Thanks,
Mike Behrens
