    Sub Class Streptoneura (57,000 species)

      Order Diotocardia:   Two sets of organs
      Order Monotocardia:  One set of organs
    
    Sub Class Euthyneura   (48,000 species)

      Order Cephalaspidea: thin shells, etcetera
      Order Nudibranchia:  sea slugs

   Ablacophora:                  Worm appearing
   Polhyplacophora (Amphineura): Chitons
   Scaphopoda:                   Tusk Shells
   Gastropoda:                   Gastropods
   Bivalvia (Pelecypoda):        Clams, etcetera
