Has found a Dytiscus marginalis with a small bivalve attached to its leg.
Has identified the shell, now separated from the beetle. Sends both to CD.
His Dytiscus fact interesting. Indispensable to know name of shell. Case worth communicating to Nature. [See "On the dispersal of freshwater bivalves", Nature 6 April 1882, pp. 529–30.]
Asks further questions about shell attached to beetle’s leg.
