5. SOUTHPOOL LAKE. 



[Shore collecting : July 15th, 1900, tide 15 ft. 6 in.] 



The large mud-flats laid bare at low tide in Southpool Lake are 

 composed of the finest sticky mud, so soft that one sinks nearly to the 

 knees when walking upon it. The mud is very barren, the small 

 Sabellid Mclinna adriatica being the only abundant animal living in it. 

 In the inlet just below the Rectory, on the southern shore, down which 

 a stream of fresh water runs, there is some slightly harder ground, in 

 which a number of species were found, as listed below. 



List of Species. 



ACTINOZOA. 

 Sagartia bellis. Fairly common avIktc the mud contains suitable stones for its 

 attachment.
