Extract

During the summer of 1935 Captain Nicholson of Saltash kindly put his motor-boat at my disposal and took me for seven full-day collecting trips on the estuaries of the Tamar and its confluents, the Tavy and Lynher. I also made some collections from land in the estuaries of the Plym and Exe (S. Devon), Taw (N. Devon), Camel (N. Cornwall), and Towy (S. Wales).

All collecting was done intertidally or in shallow water and was practically confined to the brackish-water reaches. No gear was used except a hand-net of stramin, and a zinc sieve of 1-mm. mesh. More attention was paid to the Crustacean orders Tanaidacea, Isopoda, and Amphipoda than to the rest of the fauna, observations on which were only occasionally made.
