The living animals were artistically depicted in this work in watercolors, in contrast to more modern books. Dr, Baba contributed regularly to the Venus, the journal of the Malacological Society of Japan, staring i volume 2 of 1930. His frequent contributions on Japanese opisthobranchs helped enhance the status f the journal among malacologists both in Japan and abroad. In recognition of his contributions, he was made Membe Emeritus in1988. He was both a precise and painstaking taxonomist and a gentle and sincre person, befriended and admired by malacologists all over the world. Our currnt knowledge of the opisthobranch fauns of Japanese waters has come to a large extebt from Dr. Baba personally or through hi benchmark publications. We miss him very much and are proud to hav had such a great scholar in the Japanese malacological community, Dr. Baba in survived by his wife, Sonoko. TAKASHI OKUTANI - Edit
