Abstract
BIOLOGICAL readers of NATURE will perhaps recollect the record of the finding of the dinoflagellate, Amphidinium operculatum (previously unknown in Britain), on the beach at Port Erin a couple of years ago. Since then it has been present in great abundance at Port Erin on many occasions; Mr. R. D. Laurie has found it at Hoylake, near Liverpool, two of our young Liverpool zoologists (R. J. Daniel and J. E. Hamilton) now at the Belmullet Whaling Station, co. Mayo, inform me that they have noticed it on the shores of Blacksod Bay, and now I have to-day found it here in abundance, staining slightly in patches and streaks the beautiful white shell-sands of Iona.
