 near Monterey, under the influence of the sea winds. 



^Ir. Frank Weymouth, a student of Stanford University, 

 has in two sunnners identified thirty or more species of crabs, 

 some of which were taken only by dredging. More than one 

 hundred species of molluscs commonly occur here including the 

 abalone (HaUotis), sea cradle, keyhole limpet, the squid and 

 many others. 



Most of the collecting done here is along shore, though a 

 gasoline launch is available for students of the summer-school 

 and successful dredging trips constitute one important feature 

 of the students' work while at the laboratory.
