comprised Donax, Nucula, Mactra, Philine, Scrobicularia,

Crustacea were found in 28 stomachs, or 15 %, and

 poda. 



Zoophytes — One stomach contained some fragments. 



The above notes show that Annelida appear to have 

 formed during the year a large per-centage of the food of 

 the Dab in our district. Echinoderms, Mollusca, and 

 Crustacea also form a considerable item in the food supply. 



Last year's Report shows that the chief food during 

 the period dealt with in that Report, was Mollusca, 

 Crustacea and Annelida being next, but not nearly so 

 important as the first-named. 



In the Firth of Forth district, Crustacea form a large 

 part of the food supply, Echinoderms being second, Mol- 

 lusca third, and Annelida fourth.
