ever, publications a re relat ively few and far between, Nothing could be located i n the l i t e ra tu re dealing with the subject of this stucty, namely, t h e distri- bution and abundance of Chnophores i n an estuary. Therefore, any investigation tha t is carr ied out on t h i s phylum will be of value,

One possible reason fo r the Lack of study is t h a t t h e i r biological im- portance has not been and i s not being fully realized. They constitute a major consumer of zooplankton and phytoplankton, I n fact, according t o Nelson (19251, the rela%ive amounts of same forms of plankton are "to some extent correlated" with the abundance of the Ctenophores i n the plaslkton. An examp1.e of t h e i r economic imparhnce is the i r predation upon oyster larvae, which is of special 9nteL*est to the Chesapeake Bay region,

'khe en t i r e investigation of Ctenophores i n the Chesapeake Bay ems, of which this study is a part, will include same aspects of t h e i r life history, growth, reproduction, feeding and f w d habits, abundance and df stribution, plus other aspects of t h e i r biology which w i l l psobably be added t o the program la ter . The purpose of the ent ire project i s t o supplement and add t o the bialo@cal knowledge and understanding of Ctenophores as a group and of the several individ-

I na3 species found i n the area t o be studied. That pa r t or phase of the pro Sect with which # i s report is concerned deals with the abundance, distributcion and size range of Ctenophores i n the Pa.twcentilives estuary of the Chesapeake Bay, the possible fac tors involved, and implications which can be drawn from the cjbsema%ioas r

t According t o Nayer (l9l2), .three species of Ctenophores a re found in the Chesapeake Bay: -- Beroe ovata, Ymemiopsis gardeni and Ymmiopsis Icidgf,.

, Thus far i n the collections of t h i s smmer, no specimens of Beroe ova- have -- been absemed, Separation of the two species of Plnenriopsis was very difficult partly because the specimens are very del icate and easily damaged and pa r t ly because of t h e apparently unsatisfactory systematics i n the genus, Eayer f 1912)

Of the greatest isprtance in any abrmdance and dlisMbukLon study is tibe mliabiXty of %he sanq?Zjlag t echigw; that is, is it %akbg a represenktim smp1e &OBI %he pop&l.af;ion? A special tr"tp w a s made to the Severn aver f o r the purpose of ZRsting the method being used. This was carded o a t as follows:

I B i n s sfa%&ons were chosen on what w a s originally p-ed to be on the basis of a

GemTa13yt %he larger k4nemiapsis were found %n higher saliai%y Wer and the smXLer ones in lower salinity asakr. This is srh0'1.m on Figare ZlI. The s i z e range was arbitrar5J.y divided on the basis of early s q 1 e s inb %wa parts, mall, up to Wee centimeters in aength, and large, three and one- half centcimetexs and larger. Figure XIB shows 8 mtypicar2g cakh at an up- .strew & domtraa~ s%atbn during J-. Berg. f e w of the large IsdiuidMLs were %&en below a ~ U r z i t y of 7.0 parts per thousand, whereas the sdU.er tmbnale -ere observed dbwn to a saUx&ty of 4*3 parts per t b m d . The W e r mnermiopsfs were found at khe dow~strem a%at;ions, ;ia&ading the Laboratory L i f and Tcli~n Soh%, in considerable rrumbers rin two succeeding weeks, Emever, they appeared to be co~centrated f n the area of .the Pe%wo~nt ELtrer Bridge at Genedict where the salidty ranged between 5.8 svld 7*0 parts per thousand throughout most of the swmer. The smaller animals were by fir mre ~ m u s than the Zarger ones*

Bo paftem of abw&mce as related tx, temperature could be foMd. Tfie cmplete taperatme range 5a which FSrteaio sSs was observed during t?xis Swim extended from 21*7" C. to 28.80 6. wi TT-- a general gradual r ise Ulmughou.tmost of the s\ursner, There was a rather sharp decrease 5x1 temperature noticed "he lasL week of s=pling. Other than this, there was lit$le weekly va5at;ion. As can be obaemd in FSgures IIL and VII* apparently no variation in abundance can be attr%buted to -temperature.

I; tb With regard to salinity, no pattern of abundance of FheIrJo sfs could. be _%_ f o d as reh.ted t;o varia.t;Zon i n salinity except the coinci ence of low

s W t y and %he Lack of &ls. As previ~wly stated, the lowest s W C y in which Mnemiopsis was found was k.3 paTts per thousand. In tdze Severn Bvert spec5xsns were taken i n 3 8 parts per thousmd. Belar these salinities none were found Zn the respective estaa~ie8~ Therefore, #at s%a%ion, or area, atw"riich t h e sal inity fZuctnates around 4.0 parts per thousznd perhaps could be called %he u f m e area1' of occurrence. T h i s

1 area appeared .i;o be loceted at the mouth of Wnt&ng Creek (r'igur~es XC and

f m) during the ent-ire sur;rmer, except for one week when the sdlixxity showed a pmnomed increase a% aL3, sta.e;ions. A t this station there 2s a weak coirzcidence 'mtrseen s&nj.t;y enc! abundance. On dars when the saki&.* was re&~tivel.y h w , E.inemicrpsis were present, and on &w when the salinity was
