212 THE FAUNA OF THE SALCOMBE ESTUARY. 



Cypr^a europ^a {Montagu). Fairly common in dredge material and 

 on rough ground between tidemarks, e.g. Salstone, under the limekiln, etc. 



Bulla iiydatis, Linn. Fifteen living specimens of this mollusc 

 were found on the muddy gravel on the western shore and on the clean 

 gravel on the southern shore of the Salstone. 



Philine aperta {Linn.). Several specimens occurred in the dredgings 

 between the Salstone and the mouth of the harbour, and some in dredging 

 from the "Bag" off Snape's Point. On the shore it was taken with 

 spawn on the zostera bank between Millbay and the Ferry House. 



Aplysia pujsctata, Cuvier. This species, together with quantities 

 of spawn, was found in great abundance on the zostera banks between 

 the Marine Hotel and Gazebo on our first visit to that locality 

 (June 15th, 1900). On our subsequent visits, however, there were 

 very few to be seen. A few were also found on other grounds, i.e. 

 one on north-east mud, Salstone, and a few on the zostera between 

 Millbay and the Ferry House, and one on the rocks between Sandhill 

 Point and South Sands Bay. It occurred fairly frequently in dredge 

 material. 



Pleurobranchus plumula {Montagu). One specimen from the rocks 

 between Gazebo and North Sands Bay. 



Archidoris tuberculata (Cuvier). Two specimens only were found 

 on the south-east shore of Salstone. 



Lamellidoris bilamellata (Linn.). One only was taken, in the 

 dredge between Snape's Point and the mouth of the harbour. 



GoNiODORis NODOSA (Montagu). A few only were taken, in the 

 dredge betweeu Salstone and the mouth of the harbour, excepting on 

 the shell-gravel in the " Bag." 



LoMANOTUS, sp. Three specimens were dredged between the Salstone 

 and Snape's Point, 



^olis papillosa {Linn.). One was dredged between Snape's Point 

 and the mouth of the harbour, and spawn found on the zostera between 

 Millbay and the Ferry House. 



Cratena AMiENA {A. and H.) One dredged between Snape's Point 

 and the mouth of the harbour. 



Elysia viridis {Montagu). A few were dredged between Salstone 

 and the mouth of the harbour, and one was taken with the cheese- 

 cloth trawl on the zostera between the Ptectory and Ditch End. 



Octopus vulgaris, Lamarck. Three specimens were found nested 

 on the southern end of the Salstone (August 12th). They were also 

 taken in the dredge, and with seine nets (tuck net) in Salcombe 

 Harbour. For details as to the special abundance of octopus in the 

 English Channel during the present summer, see Mr. Garstang's article 

 on the subject in this number of the Journal, p. 260.
