244 LIVERPOOL MARINE BIOLOGY COMMITTEE REPORT. 



Chiton Jascicularis occurs of large size amongst stones 

 west of Kedwharf Bay, Anglesey. 



Helcion pellucidum occurs of lar^ size amongst Lami- 

 naria on Puffin Island. 



Tectura testudinalis occurs rarely amongst shingle at low 

 water at Fleetwood. 



Crepidula fornicata, L., has been found amongst the 

 shells of Ostrea virginica, Gmel., of which vast numbers were 

 planted (apparently in vain) on the shore near Beaumaris. 



Natica alderi, lives and grows large in channels near low 

 water below Penmaenmawr. 



Lamellaria perspiciia, L., under stones at Bagillt. 



Velutina IcBvigata, dredged in Menai Straits. 



Aporrhais pe^pelicani. Common on the beach, Red Whai'f 

 Bay, and found from Formby to Blackpool. At Southport 

 sometimes with the animals. 



Fusus antiquus. The large form of this mollusc, with its 

 fine white shell, measuring 7'5 to 8 inches in length, is said 

 by Mr. Jeffreys to be " peculiar to the Cheshire coast." It is 

 certainly fished by men from Menai Bridge on the way 

 to Fleetwood, whither they take large quantities to be sold for 

 bait. It would be a fit object for the Committee to aim at 

 to find where this Fusus, our largest testaceous mollusc and 

 our most beautiful shell, is actually at home, and to investi- 

 gate the conditions of his life there. 



Fusus gracilis is washed up abundantly on Red Wharf 

 beach. 



Fusus pi'ojnnquus also. 



Fusus jeffreysianus also has occurred on the same shore. 



Cylichna cylindracea, Penn. Beach, Penmaenmawr and 

 Southport. 



Actceon tornatilis, L. Frequent on the beach (dead) at 

 Penmaenmawr and Southport, 



Scaphander lignariuSj L. Beach, Red Wharf Bay and 

 Southport.
