Several species of Venus are mentioned, but Venus (Mereenaria) mereenaria 

 is not included. The paper is clearly illustrated and will be useful as 

 a guide to ciliary mechanisms in related species. - J.L.M.

III. Types of lamellibranch gills and their food currents. Quart. J. Micr. 

 Sci. 79(315) : 375-421. 



Seven main types of lamellibranch gill and their food currents have been 

 described and compared. Reference to Venus (Mereenaria) mereenaria is 

 through the work of Kellogg (1915) , which is abstracted elsewhere in this 

 bibliography. Atkins says that Kellogg found frontal currents directed 

 ventrally on all gill lamellae of V. mereenaria , passing to the free edge 

 on all demibranchs . - J.L.M.

Several species of Venus are mentioned, but not Venus (Mereenaria) 

 mereenaria. This paper and the others in the series provide a detailed 

 description of ciliary mechanisms and structure of related species, 

 illustrated with elegant drawings. - J.L.M.

Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission. 1958. 



16th Annual Report, 79 p. 



Records the request of the North Atlantic Section of the Commission to the 

 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to make a census of the hard clam population 

 of Nantucket Sound. This report also gives progress reports on clam investi- 

 gations and contains lists of publications of clam investigations personnel 

 from 1947 to 1957, and clam research project reports from 1948 to 1957. 

 All publications of the Commission should be consulted for references to 

 studies of Mereenaria (Venus) mereenaria. - J.L.M.
