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.

In the spring of 1920 the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries approached the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom with a view to the Association undertaking the manufacture of a large number of “Drift Bottles,” to be used in an extensive research into the resultant movements of the waters of the North Sea.

The present notes (see also Wilson, 1949, 1953) are mainly concerned with the breeding habits of two fishes commonly kept in marine aquaria. These habits may be familiar to keepers of other large marine aquaria, but I have failed to find any account of them in scientific literature other than a very brief and inadequate description by Raffaele (1898, p. 328) of the nesting of Cantharus vulgaris (= Spondyliosoma cantharus) in the aquarium at Naples. The scientific names of species mentioned follow the Plymouth Marine Fauna third edition (Marine Biological Association, 1957)

Limacina retroversa (Flem.) has been known in the Channel for over twenty-seven years and was several times recorded by Gough (1907) and Bygrave (1911) in the plankton reports (see Marine Biological Association, Plymouth Marine Fauna, 1931, p. 265), both from inshore and from outside. In recent years the more frequent collecting in the waters round Plymouth has shown that it may be present throughout the year, although much the most abundant in summer. Not only is it found in the outside waters but it is also often present in the Sound and even at the mouths of the estuaries.

The Plymouth Marine Fauna (Marine Biological Association, 1957) list of monogenean parasites of fishes has been increased from 39 to 58 species and in addition 2 species have been recorded from a cephalopod host. The increase in listed species represents an increased ‘parasitological effort’ rather than an influx of new species into Plymouth waters.

Pelagic Copepods

Richard Norris Wolfenden was a significant independent force in post-Challenger British oceanography. After a career in medicine, Wolfenden devoted himself to an intense decade of exploration in the North Atlantic on his yachts the Walwin and the Silver Belle, in cooperation with expanding international studies. He was among the first to advocate relatively small-scale but periodic investigations of fixed sites. Wolfenden was a founder of the Challenger Society (1903) and a member of the council of the Marine Biological Association. Pelagic copepods became Wolfenden's particular interest. Among his 12 papers and monographs were the two parts of the Plankton studies (1905–1906), the rarest modern copepodological publications. Taxonomic problems caused by a revision of the first part are discussed, and an attempt was made to locate the “half dozen” original sets of the Plankton studies. Wolfenden left England in 1910 and spent his last years in Ontario.

High Water Mark

Littorina(Melarhaphe)neritoides(Montagu) is stated by Tattersall to be viviparous. Living usually above high-water mark, often withLittorina saxatilis(L. rudisin Plymouth Marine Fauna 1931, Marine Biological Association), it would seem at first sight that free-swimming larvæ would be useless.L. saxatilisis truly viviparous and provided with a special pouch for its young which crawl out as small individuals similar to the parent. Tattersall (1908, 1909, 1920) when he discovered the planktonic egg-capsules ofL. littorea(Caullery and Pelseneer (1910) having described them at almost exactly the same time) then regardedL. neritoidesas viviparous. He has, however, kindly sent me the statement given below. Following him many workers have also declared that this species is viviparous (Flatteley and Walton, 1922, Colman 1933 Russell, 1934 and others). It is now possible to show that, not only is it not viviparous but it lays planktonic capsules very similar to those ofL. littorea.

The investigation of the trawling-grounds in Start Bay, Torbay, and Teignmouth Bay, which had been previously investigated in 1895–8 by Messrs. Stead and Holt, was resumed by the Marine Biological Association in 1901, under authority from the Devon Sea Fisheries Committee.
