Extract

Since the surveys described in our last report (Crisp, 1958) on the distribution in north-west Europe of the immigrant Australasian barnacle, Elminius modestus Darwin, the species has become much commoner along the western coasts and has finally spread to Ireland (Beard, 1957). In this report we present the results of surveys made in 1958–9 along the eastern side of the Irish Channel and in the Isle of Man, as well as full records of a survey of the Irish coast in 1958. The methods employed were similar to those described previously (Crisp, 1958; Bishop & Crisp, 1958).
