MARINE BIOLOGY AT WHITBY. 
Rev. F. H. WOODS, B.D. 
Partly owing to the war, partly the cold, stormy weather, 
and still more, it must be confessed, to the general lack of 
interest taken in the subject, very few turned up turned up 
for the meeting of the Yorkshire Marine Biology Committee, 
September I9th-22nd, This, in conjunction with the fact 
that the tides were not suitable, except on Monday and Tuesday, 
accounts for the comparative smallness of the finds as com- 
pared with those at Filey, Robin Hood’s Bay and Scarborough. 
Those made seem to point to the general conclusion that the 
fauna of the shore south of Whitby is nearly identical with that 
of Robin Hood’s Bay. The most interesting finds were the 
hairy crab, Pilumnus hirtellus, found for the first time on the 
Yorkshire coast last year at Filey, and the little dark Chiton 
Craspedochilus onyx, found at Robin Hood’s Bay in 1911.
