Dear Bill

I am forwarding an extraordinary photograph taken by local U/W
photographer Tracy Clark (with his permission) of the gill structure of Pleurobranchaea californica.

Photo was taken at La Jolla Shores, San Diego, California. P. californica
has been quite abundant here the past month or so.

Thanks Mike - and Tracy,
The photo defintiely shows why these animals are called 'side-gilled slugs'.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
