Venus meraenaria was found in muddy sand association, eelgrass and muck 

 association, marginal muck association between the edge of the eelgrass and 

 low tide, and in the intertidal My a association in the lower part of the 

 flats where buried rocks lie within a few inches of the surface. - J.L.M.

A series of communities on level bottom, attributed to C. G. Joh. Petersen 

 (1918) included Venus community with Eohinoaardium; open sandy coasts of the 

 Kattegat and in the North Sea, 10-11 m; and the deep Venus community, 

 sporadically in the Kattegat in sand. Judging from their habitat tolerances 

 the Maaoma community should be found at the Venus stations , but in fact are 

 found only where the "Venus community" are lacking. Mytilus of the Maaoma 

 group lives on buoys in the Venus territory of the Kattegat, but the 

 constituents limited to the bottom cannot be found there. It must be that 

 Eohinoaardium and Ophioglypha and the plaice fishes exclude them. "Venus 

 animals" cannot reach up on the buoys in the Kattegat to destroy young 

 Mytilus. Distribution of the Maaoma community is understandable only in the 

 light of biological factors which bring about competition with the "Venus 

 community". - J.L.M.

Preliminary experiments on the feeding and excretion of bivalves using 

 Phaeodaotylum labelled with 32p. j. Mar. Biol. Assn. U.K. 42(3): 609-623. 



The Venus species used in these experiments was striatula , not mereenaria. 

 Results of filtration experiments were similar to those reported by Rice and 

 Smith (1958) and Jorgensen (1960) for other species. V. striatula produced 

 very little pseudof aeces . Most material excreted in the first 3 days is 

 green-brown and composed of Phaeodaotylum which probably has never entered 

 cells of the digestive diverticula but has immediately been rejected by 

 sorting mechanisms of the stomach. Material excreted later is browner and 

 probably composed of material that has been extruded from cells of digestive 

 tubules and returned to the stomach. There is a steady loss of 32p into 

 solution during the first week. Of the body tissues of the clam, the 

 digestive diverticula had the highest count of 32 P per mg dry tissue. This
