Description
Summary:Bibliography: pages 316-331. === This thesis attempts to give an understanding of intertidal conditions in the Cape Peninsula in terms of spatial and seasonal variations in rocky shore communities and falls into two distinct parts: 1.

An investigation of seasonal changes in the populations of certain abundant algae and gastropods at Dalebrook.
