188 THE FAUNA OF THE SALCOMBE ESTUAKY. 



Amphiuka elegans {Leach). Found in all dredgings, and also on 

 the shore at Salstone. 



Echinus miliaris, Gmelin. Not uncommon in dredge material 

 obtained in the channel from the Salstone to the mouth of Salcombe 

 Harbour. Not found on the shore. 



Echinocardium cordatum {Pennant). Very common in the clean 

 sand between the zostera beds to the north of ]\Iillbay, on the east side 

 of Salcombe Harbour. Specimens are seldom found actually in the 

 zostera banks themselves. When the sand is uncovered by the tide, 

 the presence of the Echinocardium is indicated by the holes in the 

 sand through which the tube feet of the urchin are protruded. The 

 mollusc Mordacuta ferruginosa is often found commensal with the 

 Echinocardium. 



NEMERTINA.* 



[Nomenclature : Burger, Nemcrtinen des Golfes von Ncpcal, 1895, Naples 

 Monograpli, No. 22.] 



Carinella annulata {Montctgn). Mr. Beaumont obtained this 

 species in the zostera banks between Ferry House and Millbay, in 

 September, 1898. 



Carinella superba, Kdlliker. This species was frequently found 

 on the shore both in the Kingsbridge estuary and in Salcombe Harbour. 

 It occurred on both sides of the Salstone, on the shores at the north- 

 east end of Salcombe Harbour, as well as on the banks near the mouth, 

 immediately to the north of Millbay. A specimen was also obtained 

 in dredge material from the channel between Salstone and Snape's 

 Point. 



Carinella polymorpha {Rcnier) was found on the shore on the west 

 side of the Salstone. 



LiNEUS LONGissiMUS (Gunnerus). Several specimens were dredged 

 in the channel between Salstone and Snape's Point. 



LiNEUS bilineatcs, Mcintosh. Obtained on the shore near the mouth 

 of Salcombe Harbour. It was common in clean sand (with a little 

 zostera) between the Ferry House and Millbay, on the eastern side; 

 one was obtained on the western side under the Marine Hotel, and 

 one in the fine mud to the north-east of the Salstone. 



MiCRURA fasgiolata, Ehrenherg. Several specimens were dredged 

 in the channel in Salcombe Harbour. None were recorded from higher 

 up the estuary. 



* The list of species in this group is probably incomplete. "We are indebted to Messrs. 

 11. C. PuNNETT and W. I. Beaumont for assistance in the identification of those speci- 

 mens which are recorded.
