Larger on points - high intertidal & larger in very sheltered rock pools 0 but never as large as in Australia. Limpets - fissurellids like those from Sri Lanka. v. small mussels in crevisces under oysters. littorinids - L. granosa type on exposed rocks, smooth type inshore. neritids - smooth & white ribbed spp in more sheltered positions, black & brown ribbed species in more exposed situations.

[Detailed diary of day] Checked out of hotel [Travel Hotel to W end of Tangung Piok to Palau Pari] [...]I went collecting out on reef flat S of Research Station ie of LON-LIP station 1. Collected some oysters S. cuccullata from mangrove (isolated) & some from dead Acropora (Ostrea folium). saw 2 medium sized Hyotissa hyotis. Thousands (probably millions of Ardraster? buried in sand - all about same size - came out when tide rose) also mottled starfish, blue Lindria flat & small flat (outer & inner reef flat). Collected drupes (?coralliophilids) from coral & Trochus sp. Collected pterids from coral, collected Isognomon from coral, weed & sand - more common on inner reef flat. 2 spp Posidonia - short & curved - very long & broad (fruit). 2 spp Halophila -coarse outer reef flat -fine inner reef flat. Plenty of Sargassum, some Turbinaria, variety of Caulerpa - inshore, mats of Laurencia.[...]

[Sketch map of locations visited during day] Jane & I went out with Merso & a helper in Zodiac - left about 9am - visited. (1) in lagoon (Goba Besar) - coral bombies (2) on sandy slopes (3) Mangal on N side of P. Tengah (4) old frame no longer in use for holding net for holding fish (5) Houses on P. Kongsi - krang in holding ponds - piles of semi fossil Tridacnids (6) Lagoon edge N of P. Tikus - large bombies on sandy slope off sand flat (7) outer reef slope down to about 20' between P. Tikus & P. Gundul. Got home about 1.30.

Processed material before breakfast then went wiyth Kerso & boatmen to N side of atoll where there is a pass at high tide.
#8 - over reef edge on steep slope - great variety of coral - paradise for fungiids apparently - very few Alectryonella in coral - plenty of Hyotissa hyotis - few Hyotissa sp. on one large bombie [?] under slope. & few ?Ostrea tuberculata in Porites bombie only got 2 (1 damaged) (Pedium very common in Porites). One large oyster ?Hyotissa sp on underside of loose dead tabular Acropora colony. Couple of Ostrea folium on Alectryonella - none on bases of gorgonians or sea whips - none on bamboo pole - though some L valves of gathered oysters were there - small - flat. Pteriids on gorgonians.

Definitely not like any Saccostrea species found at home. - Will need to check flat chalky oysters which I though were a species of Ostrea found in N of WA.

[Travel to Kuala Trengganu and Research Station [Unnamed]][...] Drove S to Cinering & went collecting on rocks on end of beach ot north of Point. -Rock oysters are of 2 species in more sheltered situations are ?S. echinata - not large but juveniles have slender long pipes. - collected few ded upper valves & broken & whole oysters. More exposed situations (& overlapping with last species) is S. cuccullata - medium sized to large - fairly abundant but not forming dense growths. Subtidally were some larger oysters including Hyotissa hyotis & some flat 5cm diameter Ostrea ? folium only got one of these - didn't collect H. hyotis (because not weight belt & very bouyant), Saccostrea being predated as tide was falling by drupes but larger thaids present - drupes drilling bear but not at edge of S ? echinata did not notice any cuccullata drilled. Olives & starfish off sandy beach in shallows [...] This station is regarded as a faculty of Universiti Pertanian Malaysia - for oceanography & fisheries studies [...]

S. cuccullata only - intertidally. subtidally O. folium (folded & flat on rocks). H. hyotis & fewer H. sp. (large & flat) - some Hyotissa hyotis on living coral (Porites). v few O. tuberculata on Porites. No Alectryonella seen. Some spondylids & chamids subtidally. Check identity of smaller pinkish Hyotissa. Predators in crevisces on intertidal rocks. few small isognomonids among oysters, few clams - T. maxima & T. ?crocea or small smooth T. squamosa. Small cerithaceans etc on weed covered oysters.[...]
