Extract

The survey, the results of which are described in this paper, was primarily intended to investigate the zonation of Littorina littorea, but notes have also been included of the zonation of such other gastropod species as occurred with it. The material was collected from the following localities: Torpoint. 2. ×. 36. Just west of the ballast dock at Torpoint, Cornwall. The shore consists of stones, many of them bedded in mud, and thickly overgrown with fucoids. There is little wave-action, but at times a considerable drop in salinity (Hartley & Spooner, 1938; Mime, 1938).
