Blainville: 



Meslin (1925), on rocks in sandy rock pools with running fresh-water, MTL, ix.1924. 



lies Chausey* : 



Crie (1875), rocks at MTL; Hamel (1938), ix.1937; Davy de Virville (1938), (i) Saccaviron, 

 Grand lie - depression between the adjacent reefs la Meule and Ile-aux-Oiseaux has large pools at 

 different levels, with sand/gravel bottoms, joined by constantly flowing runnels studded with 

 rocks, bases of large deep upper pools, and inwash channels with small pools, have abundant 

 Padina, (ii) Petit-Epail (islet south of Grand lie) shows shallow hollows, containing sandy pools 

 with consistent sea water trickles and bearing Padina; Hamel (1939); Hamel & Lami (1972), 

 rather rare, Saccaviron, vi-ix.

 south of point, already affected by Baie de Saint-Michel mud, comparison of autumn 1937/spring 

 1938 with 1952 shows pools with Padina no longer exist - impoverishment of flora is accompanied 

 by loss of coastal fauna, with grave scientific/practical consequences, severe regulation of collect- 

 ing and cutting of algae required as remedy; Gayral & Bert (1966), 26-3 l.vii. 1965; ? Pelvet, in 

 Suringar in Herb. Weber-van Bosse, 937.55.411 (L). 



General: 



See Normandie general records at Eure. 



Manche (mainly due to Cotentin) has the second longest coastline, after Finistere, along 

 Atlantic France. The north<-south orientation of Cotentin gives three different major aspects, 

 east (Baie de la Seine); north (English Channel); and, longest by a factor of three, west (into the 

 Passage de la Deroute, between the Channel Isles, and into the Golfe de St Malo). Distribution of 

 Padina records, although possibly affected by collecting habits of phycologists, largely reflects the 



* lies Chausey, about equidistant from Granville (Manche) and Pointe du Grouin (Ille-et-Vilaine), are often 

 included (e.g. Hamel & Lami, 1930) in Ille-et-Vilaine.
