While examining collections of young fish taken with a 2 m stramin net on the west coast of Scotland in 1975 for the unstaffnage Marine Research Laboratory of the Scottish Marine Biological Association I found two postlarvae unlike any I have seen before.These two specimens, both about 6.2 mm long, were taken on 31 July 1975 from the Tiree Passage between the Islands of Mull and Tiree, and from Bloody Bay on the south-west coast of Mull.

Much valuable information on aquarium systems was assembled in the published papers of the 1960 1st International Congress of Aquarology held in Monaco. To date no further congress has been held but Clark & Clark (1964) have collected together a number of papers on sea-water systems and a number of institutes have published details of their aquarium designs, e.g. for the Marine Biological Association at Plymouth (Wilson, 1960), Biologische Anstalt on Helgoland (Anon, 1959), Fishery-Oceanography Center at La Jolla (Lasker & Vlymen, 1969), Marine Laboratory, Aberdeen (Hawkins, 1971) and Sea Research Institute on Texel (de Blok, 1975). A very ambitious aquarium at Dalhousie University, Halifax - the Aquatron Laboratory - has not been fully described although a pamphlet giving some information is available from the curator, Dr Carl Boyd.

Mediomastus Hartman (1944) is a genus of capitellid polychaetes with ten species of which only M. fragilis, described from the Danish Isefjord by Rasmussen (1973), has been found in European waters. In 1963 Clark & Dawson recorded the presence of an incomplete specimen of a capitellid from the west coast of Scotland and tentatively assigned it to Mediomastus. However, collections made by Dr P. E. Gibbs (Marine Biological Association, U.K.) in the Shetlands during April 1974 revealed a large number of capitellids subsequently identified as fragilis. More recently M. fragilis. has been recorded in large numbers during sampling programmes carried out by Dr A. Walker (Marine Science Labs., University College of N. Wales, Menai Bridge) in Dublin Bay and Liverpool Bay, and Mr J. Hunter (Highland River Purification Board, Dingwall, Ross-shire) has collected specimens from Dornoch Firth and Cromarty Firth, Easter Ross.

AbstractThe origin and development of the Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom is described on the occasion of the publication of the 100th volume. Papers in the Journal demonstrate how the techniques and approaches to the study of the marine environment have evolved over the 120 years of publication. The early papers provided a baseline description of the marine environment and of marine communities that allowed the effects of later perturbations of the environment to be determined. Both the early papers and the long time series of records have proved to be particularly relevant as marine scientists try to predict the long-term results of climatic and anthropogenic effects on the marine ecosystem. The Journal has now become increasingly international, with most papers coming from outside Europe.

Limpet populations of the genus Patella from the south-west coast of England were examined by means of gel electrophoresis in order to settle debate on the specific status of the three Patella forms. Populations varied morphologically along an east-west gradient, from three distinct forms in the west to continuous intergradation in the east, in accord with earlier studies. Patella collected were divided into three groups on the basis of a complex of external features described by earlier workers, corresponding to the morphologically defined taxa P. vulgata Linn., 1758, P. aspera Röding, 1798, and P. depressa Pennant, 1777. These groups were electrophoretically distinct in five of seven enzyme systems examined, with no hybrids or intermediates. Incomplete speciation and hybridization can be ruled out as possible causes of the observed morphological variation.

Temperature Depth

To describe the onset and evolution of upwelling along the south west coast of India, authors collected a series of conductivity temperature depth measurements on board INS Sagardhwani extending from 7 °N – 15 °N during the period extending from February 2017 - October 2017. In this paper we utilised the undulations of the 23 °C isotherm as a proxy to study the upwelling phenomenon. The upward movement of the waters at the southern tip off India (77.5 °E) in the subsurface levels was observed to commence from late February 2017 in depths around 80 m and by the end of May 2017, it is observed to rise rapidly to the surface. The upwelled waters reach the surface during the 2nd week of July all along the Indian coast, and then intensified during August 2017. Beyond 12 °N maximum upwelling is seen in July and thereafter in early August 2017 upwelling was intense till October 2017.

The Christianity in Britain has developed in the first centuries, spreading together with the Romanity, Constantine the Great himself being crowned emperor inthis providence. But after the withdrawal of the Roman troops in 410 by Emperor Honorius and after the invasion of the Saxons, Angles and Ithians, Christianity disappeared almost entirely, remaining only among the British natives who run from the Saxon invasion in the Cornwall peninsula, in Wales and on the NW coast of the province. Among the most active missionaries in this province, St. Patrick, who is considered to be the apostle of Ireland, was noted during the same period. Under his influence, the number of monasteries increased and the society that shepherded was profoundly changed. In this universe of faith St. Columba made himself known. Together with his 12 disciples, he headed to the kingdom of Dalriada, a maritime state encompassing the northern Ulster region of Ireland and the south-west coast of Scotland. Here, Saint Columba converted the entire monarchy, obtaining from the king an island to establish a monastery. He was granted the island of Iona on the west coast of Scotland, where he founded a monastery that will become a true focal point of culture and Christianity in the area. From Iona, Celtic Christianity spread throughout Scotland, converting the picts, then passing Hadrian’s Wave to Britain, where the Holy Bishop Aidan founded a monastery on the island of Lindisfarne. Later, St. Augustine of Canterbury, brought the Christianity back into the British Island, being sent there by Pope Gregory the Great.

Surface Drift

I. Introduction.Some eighteen months ago the Director of the Plymouth Laboratory of the Marine Biological Association decided to carry out a series of investigations concerning the surface currents of the English Channel at different seasons of the year, and for a series of years, by means of properly devised floating bodies which would attract attention when standed on the shore, and the recovery of which could without difficulty be recorded. At the commencement of the investigation Mr. Allen communicated his scheme to the editors of the west-country Press, and these gentlemen kindly gave publicity to the plan, the success of which depended very largely upon the co-operation of residents and visitors frequenting the sea-shore. Mr. Allen's letter expresses so clearly the object and method of the investigation, that I cannot do better than reproduce it here:—

Two species of Lima are known from Plymouth: Lima hians (Gmelin), the commonest species, inhabiting small patches of stones with muddy gravel at extreme low-tide mark on the north side of the Breakwater, where many individuals may be found together, and Lima loscombi Sowerby, found on the coarse grounds west of the Eddystone, Rame-Eddystone Grounds, Mewstone Grounds, Stoke Point Grounds and southwest of the Eddystone (see Marine Biological Association, Plymouth Marine Fauna, 1931). The latter is a much smaller species than the former, not so highly coloured, and much rarer. Although it is often difficult to obtain Lima hians, as it is only accessible at very low tides, it occurs in numbers in the locality cited.
