However small the inoculum of microorganisms originating in the water sample, 

 gut, and body surfaces of animals, in the laboratory it may give rise to 

 bacterial populations far denser than in nature. In crude culture, typical 

 applications of antibiotics for Meroenaria mevoenavia are: penicillin 100 to 

 670 ug/ml, streptomycin 50 to 100 ug/ml, and chloramphenicol 5 to 50 ug/ml. 

 Isolates from bacterial swarms on dying clams killed Venus mevoenavia larvae. 

 Penicillin and streptomycin sulphate inhibited the isolates. Papers in which 

 these results were reported are abstracted elsewhere in this bibliography.

Hard clam is one of 5 species that offer the greatest potential. It will 

 be regrettable if, by focusing on the cost-benefit analysis of the most 

 costly and technically sophisticated culture systems proposed to date, it 

 were to be made to appear economically unfeasible. - J.L.M.

Average number of hrs fished, estimated man-hours of effort, clams per man- 

 hour, and estimated total number of clams taken for a 2-week period in 

 July 1953, were: hrs. fished 2.7 week days, 3.9 week end; total man-hrs 75 

 week days, 1,250 week end; clams per man-hr 16.2 week days, 41.1 week end; 

 and total clams 1,220 week days, 51,380 week end. It was intended to inter- 

 view clammers at Rehoboth Bay in 1954-55, but nothing was said in the report 



for that year. - J.L.M.

A preliminary catalogue of the shell-bearing marine mollusks and brachiopods 

 of the southeastern coast of the United States, with illustrations of many 

 of the species. Bull. U.S. Natl. Mus . 37 (revised reprint of 1889 edition, 

 1903) , 232 p. , 95 pis. 



Lists the following species and varieties from localities Nova Scotia to 

 Key West, the Tortugas, and Gulf of Mexico: Class Pelecypoda, Order 

 Teleodesmacea, Suborder Veneracea, Family Veneridae - Venus mevoenavia 

 Linne, var. rnoTtoni Conrad, V. ovispata Deshayes, V. vugosa Gmelin, var. 

 vugatina Heilprin, V. pilula Reeve, V. ovibvavia Conrad, V. oanoellata 

 Linne, "/. beaui Recluz, V. lamavokii Gray, V. gvanulata Gmelin, V. pygmaea 

 Lamarck, and V. vavioosa Sowerby. Depths are given from low water mark to 

 300 fathoms (abstracter's note: units of depth are not identified directly, 

 but the context appears to make it fathoms, which makes the extreme record, 

 and some of the extreme depths for nominal species, such as 127 for V. 

 lamavokii at Cape Hatteras , surprisingly deep. Some of the extreme southern 

 ranges are also questionable, e.g., Yucatan for V. mevoenavia , Rio Janeiro 

 for V. rugosa, Trinidad for V. oanoellata , etc.). Fossil records date back 

 to Miocene and Pliocene. The 1903 reprint contains 21 additional plates, 

 not included in the 1889 edition. - J.L.M.
