Abstract
ON May 10 I was fortunate enough to find a large enteropneust on the flats at Whitstable which agrees well, except in size, with the descriptions of Saccoglossus kowalevskyi (A.Ag.) given by Spengel1 and Van der Horst2. A few days later, R. P. Dales, of this Department, found a second but smaller specimen which was, however, incomplete. Both specimens were dug up from near the mean low-tide mark in a region where the sand overlying the clay contains a high proportion of shell debris.
