Extract

Two species of the amphipod Bathyporeia Lindström, B. nana Toulmond and B. sarsi Watkin, have been collected from sand beaches in the Firth of Clyde, both of which appear to be new records for the Clyde Sea area. This may be the first definite record of B. sarsi from the west coast of Britain. In addition, B. nana has been collected from a beach near Oban, Argyll.
