Messrs Leslie & Eerclman on Invertehrata of Firth of Forth. 301 



Berwick, etc. Living abundantly on mud 

 flats at Bo'ness (if.). 



White specimens of IT. ulvce come ashore 

 at Newhaven. As they are dead, and 

 may be only bleached, it would be unsafe 

 to say that they are the var. albida {M). 

 We have found this species in Largo Bay.

Firth of Forth {M'B., as T. communis)-, 

 Firth of Forth, 30 fathoms (Metz. and Mey., 

 as T. nngulina) ; Firth of Forth {Ed. Mns). 

 Alive on the shore at very low water, near 

 Cramond Island {M.). 

 This species is very common in the 

 Firth ; in some spots — e.g., off the east side 

 of Inchkeith, 12 fathoms ; off Aberdour, 

 5 fathoms; and Kirkcaldy Bay, 9 fathoms — 

 the dredge comes up almost full of dead 

 shells of this species, imbedded in slimy 

 grey mud.
