Abstract
THE distribution and rate of spread of the immigrant intertidal barnacle Elminius modestus Darwin in the British Isles and in the rest of north-west Europe have been summarized recently1. The most northerly published record is that of Connell2, who found a single specimen of Elminius on Farland Point, Isle of Cumbrae, on March 7, 1955; the nearest published records to this are those for Stranraer and Kirkcolm in Loch Ryan1, about 55 miles to the south.
