Fig. 10. Lagotia viridis. 
A, Lateral view of right side of extended animal showing: a, peristomal lobe; b, collar; c, spiral whorl; d, 
neck; e, spherical nucleus; f, foot. 
B, Ventral view of contracted animal showing same structures. 
are small and not well developed. The nucleus 
(<?) both in unstained and stained material is 
moniliform, with up to 20 small (3 or 4p) 
beadlike components. The foot (g) is non- 
spatulate. 
The color of the body is grey -green; the 
lorica, very light green to colorless. In no sense 
do even the darkest specimens approximate the 
deep blue-green of members of the genus 
Lagotia.

Mirofolliculina limnoriae was first taken at 
Tatokushima, July 7, 1965 from Limnoria sp. 
living in the riddled nodes of abandoned bam- 
boo poles of oyster rafts. Figure 12 is a ventral 
view of an extended animal and its lorica with 
lateral pouches (d) . Although M. limnoriae 
from Ago Bay falls well within the limits of 
variation held for this species (Silen, 1947:57 
and Hadzi, 1938:29), their position on Lim- 
noria sp. and the degree of lorica branching 
differ from previously published accounts. Of 
100 Limnoria sp. taken at random, only 16% 
had M. limnoriae on their exoskeletons. One of
