Abstract

A survey of the sandy beach at Port Erin, Isle of Man, was made in. September, 1931. Observations were made, at a number of stations, involving simultaneous records of the macro-fauna and its density, and certain physical and chemical factors of the sand and interstitial water, as well as tidal level on the beach. The results enable certain general conclusions to be drawn as to the causes of the observed distribution of species, and of the differences between the faunas of this and some Scottish beaches. Plans are given, indicating tidal contours, salinity, and grade composition, in situ on the beach, together with frequency diagrams for five dominant species.
