Extract

In a recent paper describing the distinguishing characters of British species of Ensis (Holme, 1951), it was concluded that three valid species occur in British waters: E. siliqua (L.), E. arcuatus (Jeffreys) and E. ensis (L.). This paper is an attempt to analyse the ecological factors controlling the distribution of these species, particular attention being paid to the effect of soil grade.
