Extract

During a short stay at the Marine Biological Association Laboratory Plymouth (mid-September 1982) preliminary investigations of the interstitial fauna of marine sand were carried out. The sampling sites with the recorded Mollusca have already been communicated (Salvini-Plawen, 1984).

As concerns mesopsammic Cnidaria, only a few findings have been made in British waters (Boaden, 1963, 1966; Harris, 1972). The present contribution reports not only new records for the Plymouth area and British waters in general, but also provides comparative knowledge of mesopsammic faunas.
