THE WONDER OF THE SEASHORE


Proof of the popularity of


the lectures arranged by Clitheroe Naturalist Society was not lacking yesterday week when Mr. C. N. Watson of Stonyhurst College was the speaker. Although a murky log filled the Novem­ ber night more than fifty people attended the lecture in the Royal Grammar School York Street. Mr. W. M. Marshall as chairman intro­ duced Mr. Watson whose subject was "The sea shore” . Explaining that the seashore


is that part of the shore between the extremes of high and low tides Mr. Watson next described the spring and neap tides which form the bound? anies of the shore. He said there was a great variation in the characteristics of the organisms which live in the area covered by the tide and also a tremen-


dous variety of living things in


such an area. The different forms of life,


plant and animal, were to be found in zones these beinj
