Extract

Results from the Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) Survey have been used to extend the observation by Boalch & Harbour (1977 a) of the occurrence in January 1977 of a diatom Coscinodiscus nobilis (Grunow), new to British waters. Samples have been taken by the CPR to the west of the British Isles since 1948 and along the English Channel since 1957. C. nobilis was not identified until the spring of 1977, thus confirming the observations by Boalch & Harbour. It reappeared in 1978 when it was found further north in the Irish Sea.
