A New Locality for Gammarus chevreuxi Sexton

IN the autumn of 1929 the dominant animal in the fauna of Wyken Slough, near Coventry, was a Gammarus, the species of which was uncertain, but which I then recorded as G. pulex Linn.

Zusammenfassung:IN the autumn of 1929 the dominant animal in the fauna of Wyken Slough, near Coventry, was a Gammarus, the species of which was uncertain, but which I then recorded as G. pulex Linn. I have since sent specimens to Mrs. Sexton, who has identified them as G. chevreuxi Sexton. This organism has previously been found only in Chelston meadows, near Plymouth, and in view of its value in the study of genetics a new locality is worth recording.
