TY - JOUR AU - Serène, Raoul AB - 337 It is perhaps surprising that this relatively large and conspicuous cyclopoid has apparently eluded notice in a location as well-worked as Plymouth. On the other hand, it is quite possible that its occurrence there is of recent origin, with some unknown factor facilitating its spread from the Breton coast 180 km to the south. Stock ( 1960) reports slight variation in the specimens which he examined, and Carton (1963) mentions the possibility of small morphological differences between armorican, mediterranean and adriatic examples. In a series of host-transfer experi- ments, Carton certainly demonstrated an interesting physiological distinction vis survival rate on the two host anemones, and his results would suggest sub- speciation, at least at a physiological level. The general scarcity of Mediterranean material, however, makes it conjectural as to whether this might be concomitant with small but constant anatomical differences between the various populations. In the absence of further evidence on this point, we can only say that the rather scanty material from Plymouth agrees very closely with the figures and description of L. actiniae supplied by Stock.
