Extract

A description is given of a glass cloth surface which prevents the settlement of larvae of Balanus crenatus and Pomatoceros triqueter, whilst not affecting that of Tubularia larynx. A number of possible causes for this are examined, and its relation to other work on the settlement of sedentary forms is briefly considered.
