Abstract
The interstitial meiofauna was investigated on an exposed sand beach at Whitsand Bay, Cornwall. An intertidal transect of eight stations was sampled regularly over a period of 2 years from May 1968 to May 1970. Quantitative core samples were taken to a depth of 50 cm. Nematodes were the dominant group on the beach, forming about 50% of the meiofauna. Harpacticoid copepods were second in overall abundance. Hydrozoa, turbellaria, gastrotrichs and tardigrades were also present.
