Abstract
WHILE digging in sandy gravel beyond the apparent low-water mark, on the west coast of Anglesey, during the spring tides at the end of August 1949, a small Enteropneust was found in a burrow of fine sand adhering to a stone. Afterwards several more were discovered in an adjacent, more sheltered region of the shore, where the sand contained a fairly high percentage of organic material.
