“…At neap-tides the amount of water entering is less, and so the amount of water forced into the lagoon at springs can run out and so produce lower levels, reaching a minimum a day or so after the smallest neap-tide. A similar phenomenon has been recorded by Bassindale (1943) as occurring in the narrower reaches of the Severn estuary.…”

“…Mr G. I. Crawford has sent me material from the British Museum, including samples collected by himself after leaving Plymouth; his earlier collections (see Crawford, 1936Crawford, , 1937 were available for examination at the Plymouth Laboratory. Mr R. Bassindale's interesting series of samples from the Severn Estuary has already been recorded and commented on in the ' Studies on the Biologyof the Bristol Channel' publications (Bassindale,1941(Bassindale, , 1942a(Bassindale, , 1942b(Bassindale, ,1943.Prof. Hobson's material included collections from the Inner Hebrides, from streams flowing on to the shore, of which an account is published by Beadle & Cragg (1940).…”

The work of which an account is here given was largely carried out from the autumn of 1937 to the spring of 1940, when it was interrupted by the war. In taking it up again (in July 1945) while, facilities for field work are still limited, the author feels it useful to publish results as they stand and indicate where further work is considered advisable.In examinations of the free-swimming bottom fauna of the Tamar and other estuaries, attention was inevitably drawn to the populations of Gammarus species, which make up the greater bulk of it. Before quantitative observations were planned, some interesting points came to light with regard to the qualitative composition of populations. This aspect lent itself more readily to study and, though byno means a new field for exploration, soon proved worth examining ingreater detail than previous workers had attempted.The broad fact of a replacement of one Gammarus species by another in passing up an estuary was well enough known, though exact knowledge for the British Isles only starts from the time when G. zaddachi Sexton was recognized as a regular member of the upper estuarine fauna of the Tay (Bassindale, 1933; Alexander, Southgate & Bassindale, 1935) and of the Deben (Serventy, 1935). This species proved to be the main brackish-water species overlapping with the marine G. locusta (L.) near the seaward end, and with the fresh-water G. pulex (L.) at the river end (or ‘head’) of the estuary. The status in estuaries of two other brackish-water species, G. duebeni Lillj. and G. chevreuxi Sexton, remained obscure.

The Berrow dunes are located at the southern end of this dune coast line, and here they are most extensively developed, forming parallel ridges of up to half a mile in width (HopeSimpson & Willis, 1955).…”

Frequency distribution studies of epipelic diatoms along an intertidal shore

Live and dead cell counts of epipehc diatoms were analysed at 16 sites along a transect crossing a saltmarsh, sandflat, and mudflat at Berrow Flats, Somerset, U.K. Replicate monthly samples were taken from January 1982 to June 1984. The ratio of dead to live cells varied according to position along the transect. Temporal changes of the ratios did not display a cychc seasonal pattern. The clustered mosaic of live cells and empty frustules on surface sediments was quantitatively assessed. Graphing variance against seasonal mean cell counts showed that the variance was proportional to the square of the mean. The Neyman Type A equation is suggested as a possible model to explain this relationship.
