>Dear Conchers,
>I was looking at the difference between Sanguinolaria tellinoides
>which we just got from a trip to Panama with specimens I have of the
>Sanguinolaria collected by Herbert Lowe in Acapulco in 1930, which
>Pilsbry and Lowe named bertini in 1932.  The reference for S.
>bertini is most probably in "West Mexican and Central American
>mollusks collected by H.N. Lowe, 1929-1931".  Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci.
>Philadelphia, vol. 84, pp. 33-44 (May 21, 1932).  Keen does not give
>the type locality for S. bertini, do any of you know?
>
>Thanks in advance.

>PS: Marine Non-Shell Related Questions:
>Are there any barnacle people out there?  I collected two distinct
>barnacles near Cebaco Island, on the Pacific side of Panama, the
>five plated brick red barnacle approximately 35mm wide and 25 mm
>high, sharply pointed 8 mm hole at top, and another dark gray up to
>35 mm wide and 14mm height smoothly rounded and with a more uniform
>6 mm.  circular hole at the top.  The latter is extraordinarily
>porous, with a honeycomb of openings on the underside.  Both are
>finely striated. Can someone point me in the direction of
>identifying those?
>Also the (probably Encope genus) 6 hole sand dollar from the
>tropical W. American coast. I collected some in Tamarindo, Costa
>Rica, years ago and could never find the identification.  The only
>photo id I have of sand dollars from that area of the world is the
>endemic Encope galapangensis, which this sp. roughly resembles.
>Any sand dollar folks out there?

>Thanks again.
