a band in thevicinity of low sea level on the opencoast, but does not continue up thechannels. On the other hand, Galeolaria themarine worm with a calcareous exo-skeleton, builds its white tubes on rocksurfaces in the surf zone, but notwhere the sea makes a frontal attack.Galeolaria can thus be found invarious sheltered spots along the edgeof the platform, but more extensivelyin the channels. Where best developed,it forms a white band on the channelwall, and the top of the band marksmean sea level. *l/47 Wattle Valley Road, Canterbury.Plate 1 Upper.
