Summary

A description is given of the commonest sublittoral algae and sessile animals found on rock at Stoke Point Reef and at the E. Blackstone rock near Dartmouth to a maximum depth of 28 m. The E. Blackstone fauna resembled that of Plymouth Sound. The marked change which has been found is ascribed to the greater turbidity of the water near Dartmouth and the increased shelter from wave action.
