Taxonomy of Gobius ephippiatus compared with G. forsteri and judged to be the same species. G. ephippiatus and G. macrolepis are assigned to a new genus. Brief notes on distribution, diet, life history and reproduction also supplied.

276 Abstracts

Yarrow, I. H. H. (1970). Hoplitis claviventris (Thomson 1872) (= Osmia leucomelana auctt. nec. Kirby) and the identity of Apis leucomelana Kirby 1802 (Hymenoptera, Megachilidae). Entomologist, 103, 62-9.

Lists characters separating Hoplitis claviventris and H. leucomelana, also which author's biological observations apply to which species; gives full synonomy.

5. CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT; BIOLOGICAL CONTROL; POLLUTION; PESTICIDES

Bryan, G. W. (1969). The effects of oil-spill removers ('detergents') on the gastropod Nucella lapillus on a rocky shore and in the laboratory. J. mar. biot Ass. U.K. 49, 1067-92.

Recolonization after the Torrey Canyon incident is described and the effect of 'detergent' on feeding is discussed.

6. PRODUCTION ECOLOGY AND ECOLOGICAL ENERGETICS

Horne, A. J., Fogg, G. E. & Eagle, D. J. (1969). Studies in situ of the primary production of an area of inshore Antarctic sea. J. mar. biol. Ass. U.K. 49, 393-405.

Used 14C technique. Hourly and estimated seasonal productivities were higher than previously recorded in Antarctic seas. Photosynthetic efficiency was low.

O'Neill, R. V. (1969). Indirect estimation of energy fluxes in animal food webs. J. theoret. Rio. 22, 28490.

Based on the probability of predator-prey interactions, this method is intended to simplify analysis of energy flow in complex ecosystems.

7. FOOD AND FOOD HABITS

Special attention paid to seasonal variation in feeding habits.

Butler, E. ., Corner, E. D. S. & Marshall, S. M. (1969). On the nutrition and metabolism of zooplankton. VI. Feeding efficiency of Calanus in terms of nitrogen and phosphorus. J. mar. biol. Ass. U.K. 49, 977-1001.

Predominantly an unselective microphagous omnivore. Possesses two distinct feeding methods; bacteria, algae, diatoms and protozoa constitute the bulk of the diet and are filtered by a pharyngeal ciliary mechanism; crustacean larvae are caught by the proboscis.

Gupta, B. L. & Little, C. (1969), Studies on Pogonophora. IT. Ultrastructure of the tentacular crown of Siphonobrachia. J. mar. biol. Ass. U.K. 49, 717-41.
