Synopsis

An account is given of the distribution and zonation of the moie important plants and animals found on rocky shores. Particular attention is directed to the variation which occurs in the dominant midlittoral communities of exposed shores, and to the wide range of low-level populations found in the sheltered sea-lochs.
