3-  TIVELA MACTROIDES

Dear  Elias,

   I am Seiji Hayashi, a research associate of Nagoya University, central
Japan.  My colleague is in need of soft part of Tivela mactroides for DNA
study.  I would greatly appreciate if you kindly send me tip of tissue of
T. mactroides (as large as a tip of your little finger ) preserved in
80-90% ethlic alcohol with its source shell.

  I am looking forward to receiving your reply.



Yours sincerely,
