NOTES. 



Three valves, Thracia convexa, under Daddy Hole. 



Various shells, including live Lucinopsis imdata. 



Live Cyprina Islandica, one Thracia convexa, and other 

 shells. 



Heavy easterly gale. 



Paignton Sands strewn with Cardmni tuberculatum and C. 

 aculeatum, curiously assorted. — {Trans. Bev. Assoc, 

 vol. viii., p. 183. 



Had a haul under Daddy Hole, and caught nothing but weed. 



Caught dabs (by hook) feeding on red arms of spinous cockles. 

 A few weeks previously, had myself dredged a great 

 many cockles dead and dying, and totally denuded of 

 spines. 



Dredged about 100 cockles off Paignton. All rolled, except- 

 ing new growth sufficient to carry two, and in some cases 

 three spines on each rib. In many cases the shells had 

 been again rolled, and the process of repair recom- 

 menced. 



Took 18 species of shells under Daddy Hole. 



Took 31 



Fine valve of Thracia convexa on Paignton Sands. 



Took a good specimen of Thracia convexa (dead) in "The 

 Pit." 



Five hauls on cockle-ground off Paignton. Did not take a 

 valve of cockle of any sort. 



Told that the cockles were ashore at Paignton. Found the 

 sand strewn with them. 



Dredged off Daddy Hole. Dredge almost empty. Plenty of 

 dead shells in " The Pit." Torbay seems bare of shells. 

 After a week's easterly breezes, with rough sea, there are 

 scarcely any fresh cockles on Paignton Sands.
