B. STORROW. 



I have to record the occurrence of Ampliidinium operculatum, 

 Claparede and Lachmann, on the foreshore at CuUercoats in much 

 larger numbers than last year. 



The organism, which was first noticed in May, 1913, occurred 

 as a practically pure culture in two separate patches N.E. and E. 

 of the Laboratory respectively. 



The patches were a few feet below high water mark, and 

 persisted until the end of September. In both cases the Amphi- 

 dinia were not very active, a large number of encysted forms being 

 present.
