MARINE ZOOLOGY 



Sandwich. 



One of the most interesting facts connected with the marine 

 animals in the neighbourhood of Sandwich is the evidence furnished by 

 the mollusca of the great changes known to have occurred during the 

 historical period. Scrobicularia plana (da Costa) in a living state is 

 found only some way below Sandwich, but dead shells in good preser- 

 vation, in the position they had when living, are found in the mud of the 

 Great Stour, near Stourmouth, where they no doubt lived when there 

 was an open channel round by Reculver, which is now completely 

 closed.

The following is a list of the invertebrate animals belonging to

 am indebted to Mr. Sibert Saunders of that place. The names are
