Dear Bill,
Of course you can use  scans of 59 and 61 pictures from my book. 59 is quite common in the Stagnone di Marsala in Sicily: it is so common that it has been filmed a week ago during the making of a TV series. It was not necessary to search for it, it was only there. It is so common that it would not be difficult to publish it.

Upper: [Photo 59 identified in Trainito as Chromodoris sp.]
Lower: [Photo 61 identified in Trainito as C. elegantula]

Thank you for your words about my book. In a few days it will be distributed in a new pocket edition, with more than 180 species and more than 300 photos. I have corrected some mistakes (C. cristallina is actually C. graeca) and identified some previously unknown species (like C. africana ).

Best wishes
Egidio
