Extract

An earlier paper (Holme, 1961) described the bottom fauna off the south coast of England, as sampled by a modified anchor-dredge. Sampling was later extended to cover the whole English Channel, a further 144 stations being worked, making 311 in all. This paper describes the results of the later survey which, as previously, was concerned mainly with molluscs and echinoderms. Distribution charts for the majority of species identified are given, in which are incorporated the results of both surveys.
