None, from the introduction: "Most of the material discussed in the following pages is from the late Mr. E. F. Ricketts of the Pacific Biological Laboratory Pacific Grove and has been in my possession, though incompletely studied, for several years. It includes all specimens of Pontobdella loricata and Marsipobdella sacculata and most of the Branchellion lobata ( fig. 1). Additional examples of B. lobata, including whole mounts and transverse sections, were collected in San Francisco Bay and southern California and were generously loaned by Dr. Marvin C. Meyer. All of the Johanssonia abditovesiculata. were taken from a puffer fish in the Honolulu Aquarium by Mr. Spencer Tinker and sent to me by Dr. C. H. Edmondson of Bishop Museum."
