210 THE FAUNA. OF THE SALCOiMBE ESTUARY. 



Pecten maximus {Linnaeus). A few were taken in the dredge, but 

 only half-grown. It was found not uncommonly at low tide on the 

 zostera bank under the Marine Hotel, lying on the surface, and 

 covered by the zostera. Scallop dredging is practised to a considerable 

 extent in Salcombe Harbour during the winter months. 



Tecten varius (Linnceus). Two dredged in the channel between 

 Salstone and Snape's Point. 



Anomia ephippium, Linnceus. Was found everywhere, especially in 

 dredge material. 



Chiton fascicularis, Lhmoeus. Taken in the dredge between 

 Salstone and Snape's Point. 



Chiton asellus, Chemn. Common in dredge material. 



Acalea virginea (Mull.). Not uncommon in dredge material. 



Calyptr^a sinensis (Linn.). This species was very common in 

 dredge material, especially that from between Snape's Point and the 

 Salstone, attached to stones, shells, etc. 



Fissurella reticulata {Donovan). Fairly common in dredge stuff, 

 especially off Tosnos Point, feeding on Ascidians, sponges, etc. One 

 was taken on the Salstone feeding on an Ascidian. 



Emarginula reticulata, Sowerby. One only was taken attached to 

 a shell from the " Bag." 



Trochus zizyphinus, Linn. Occasional specimens were met with 

 everywhere. The shore records of this species, and also of T. cincrarius 

 and T. umhilicatus, are rather incomplete. 



Trochus magus, Li7m. Common in dredgings from between Salstone 

 and the mouth of the harbour, excepting the shell-gravel in the " Bag." 

 A few were found on the sand at Millbay. All the shells, excepting 

 the young ones, were covered with Polyzoa, nuUipore and algte. 



Trochus umbilicatus, Montagu. Not recorded from dredgings; 

 probably ubiquitous at higher tidal levels as far as the shore was 

 concerned, excepting on the tine mud, although not recorded. 



Trochus cinerarius, Linn. Common in dredge material, and most 

 probably at higher tidal levels everywhere on the shore, although only 

 recorded from west shore of Salstone. 



Trochus striatus, Linn. Not uncommon in dredging from between 

 Snape's Point and mouth of harbour, very common on the zostera 

 under Marine Hotel. 



Littorina littoralis {Linn.) and L. littorea {Linn.). The records 

 of these two species are very incomplete. They are probably common 

 everywhere on the shore, at higher tidal levels where there is any weed 

 or stones. 



EissoA labiosa {Montagu). Was generally taken when working the 

 cheese-cloth trawl on the zostera banks.
