Filey Bay is an interesting centre for marine life, many of the rarer species 
being found on the Brigg and the adjoining Spittal Rocks. Among many others 
may be mentioned the great borer Zirphoea crispata, of which there is a large 
colony. Trochtis pelicinus, Chiton ruber, which are found aUve on the Brigg. 
Psammotia feroensis and Cochlodesma are sometimes* washed up alive, and among 
the shell sand are to be found a very large number of species, including among the 
rarer sorts Limacina retroversa and Cacum glabrum. In fact the mollusc fauna of the 
seaweed feeding species and the sand species are here combined as probably 
nowhere else on the Yorkshire Coast, and the place is sure to yield interesting 
results to a patient and thorough investigation. 
The Committee will give a hearty welcome to those interested in any branch 
of Marine Biology.
