DORSETSHIRE MARINE SHELLS. 



By rev. CARLETON GREENE, M.A. 



(Read before the Conchological Society, October loth, 1888.) 



The visitor at Bournemouth will find a shell-beach a few miles 

 off, on either side of the mouth of Poole Harbour, reaching from 

 Poole Head to Studland. Specimens of the following shells 

 were obtained in one visit. I mention the common species 

 because some of the most common British shells appear to be 

 rarities in this locality. Those which are most plentiful are 

 marked with an asterisk.
