OF THE FIRTH OF FORTH, 69 
Forth, were of very great importance to us. These con- 
tributions are subscribed (JZ) in the list. As of peculiar 
interest we may mention his discovery of Lepton squamosum 
in shell sand at North Berwick. This species belongs to 
the south and south-west coasts of England, and the only 
Scotch locality mentioned in Jeffreys’ “British Con- 
chology” is Oban (Barlee). Mr M‘Murtrie informs us that 
he has found the shell at Bamborough, and this, we believe, 
is the only place recorded where it has been found on the 
east coast. 
LAMELLIBRANCHIATA. 
ANOMIID. 
Anomia ephippium (Linn.). 
Firth of Forth (7B); the so-called 
variety aculeata, which is common, and 
also var. squamula (young), at Granton, 
etc.; var. cylindrica on tangle stems at 
Leith and Granton (JZ). 
This species is very common in the Firth. 
It occurs adhering to dead shells, ete., on 
the oyster bank; and is also found at 
low water mark attached to the roots and 
stems of Laminaria, ete. 
We have taken the varieties cylindrica, 
aculeata, and sguamula at Aberdour. 
A, patelliformis (Linn.). 
On North Berwick shore (J/,.). 
We have taken this species in from 5 to 
7 fathoms, off Inchkeith. 
A, patelliformis, var. striata. 
On Dunbar shore (Jf); Firth of Forth 
(MB). 
Both A. patelliformis and the variety 
striata are common on roots of tangle cast 
up by storms at Newhaven (JZ). 
OSTREID. 
Ostrea edulis (Linn.). 
Firth of Forth (/‘B., etc.).
