NOTES ON THE FAtTNA OF EALMOtJTH. 85 



ally large, some measuring 30 m.m. in length.. Most of the 

 Gr. castanea were of a distinct dark chocolate colour, and the little 

 white sjDots which were sprinkled over the dorsal area were most 

 conspicuous against this dark back-ground. The coils of spawn 

 deposited by the two first-named species were most abundant 

 about the water-line of these vessels. No coils of the spawn of 

 G. nodosa were noticed. 



On the loth July during the low- water spring tide, a single 

 specimen of JEolis punctata was found near the end of the 

 northern breakwater crawling on the under surface of a large 

 fiat stone. This specimen measured 27 m.m. in length. This 

 was the only one of the species seen. 



Towards the end of March, medium- sized specimens of 

 Archidoris tuherculata were fairly plentiful along the fore-shores 

 of the harbour, and especially numerous on the vertical granite 

 wall of the eastern breakwater during low- water. 



An uncommon moUusk, Doris Johnstonii, was fairly plentiful 

 on a bank composed of stones and oyster shells, exposed during 

 the spring tides of March, about half a mile to the north east of 

 St. Just Creek. 



With this communication my work at Falmouth ends. I 

 have now transferred my effects to Newquay, where, under 

 healthier surroundings and purer ocean water, richer and more 

 varied lists of plankton captures may be confidently expected.
