We have examined all California specimens at The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (LACM),
Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History (SBMNH), Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO), and University of California Los Angeles (UCLA, now transferred to SIO).
The remaining five specimens analyzed came from the cephalopod collection of the

This unusual graduation ceremony marks the end of the school year for 550 fifth graders currently participating in the Los Marineros marine education program, which is cosponsored by the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary and the
Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History. After a full year of study about the ocean and its inhabitants and an exciting itinerary of field excursions to local marine-related sites, Los Marineros students are rewarded for their hard work with accolades, a book about the local channel waters, and an official-looking diploma adorned with dancing crabs--the program's logo--empowering them to "preserve and protect the oceans of the world and the strange and wonderful plants and animals that live there."
Thanks is given to John Johnson and
Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History administration for many aspects of the project.
