Extract

While collecting on the Zostera beds at Grève d’Azette, Jersey, on August 23 1937 Mr R. B. Pike found fourteen specimens of an unknown lucernarian. These Zostera beds, made famous by the work of Mr J. Hornell, are now greatly impoverished, and at extreme low tide during the spring tide period only a few scattered patches of the weed remain.
