- Met Dr Orr + Miss Marshall -
on Plankton, John Marshline[?]
working now on bioluminescence
in euphausiids. He is pleasant,
tallish, a bit delicate looking
+ quite quiet but seems
competent.
Dr [H.] Barnes is busy with his
barnacles. A visitor there from
Duke University Dr J.D. Costlow Jr.
also a cirriped biologist. He
may be interested in a position.
July 30 [1958] Edinburgh
Left Millport at noon + got
back here about 4. Poured
with rain all the way.
July 31 [1958] Edinburgh
Beautiful day at last. A bit
of business in town + then train
to Glasgow. There I met their
serious technician Davison, a
Lecturer Dr Owen very busy
with Mollusc digestion. He tells
me that pelecypods have a largely
intracellular digestion whereas all
the other groups he has studied
including some of the most
primitive tectibranchs have
extracellular digestion. He would like
to work on the larger + more
primitive chitons. He is a live
wire + would be good business as
a research scholar.
I was interested in his museum
display of Mollusca. He has one
case - [illegible word] [drawing of ?] in which
he has set up on one side a display
of the kinds of molluscs - [illegible word] -
main orders + the variations within them.
He has some beautiful wax reconstructions
of nudibranchs + other types.
He is planing another case to
show variations on the Pelecypod
pattern starting with an equivalve[?]
symmetrical type then going into
forms with the shell extended anteriorly
or posteriorly. Those with long siphon
+ slow digging + those with active foot
+ a burrow to retreat into. Then
burrowing forms followed by attached
forms - byssus, direct etc.
