Topic: 3 Molluscs and a Worm Off Scotland

Chris,

Three new molluscs and a worm have been dredged in the waters off Rockall and all appear to be missing from the UKSI.  Perhaps you could investigate these and possibly add them to the UKSI and thereby to the Recorder family.  TThe molluscs are: Volutopsius scotiae, Thyasira scotiae and Isorropodon mackayi.

See the following links:

Steve

Re: 3 Molluscs and a Worm Off Scotland

Hi Steve - the molluscs were all added a while ago, by my records, but it might have just taken this long for them to arrive on the NBN Gateway because they had problems taking an update for a while. Not sure what the status of the worm is but if anyone has a record for it I'm sure they'll ask me to add it in due course :)
