UNIDENTIFIED BURROW SURFACE TRACE FROM THE CLYDE-SEA AREA

A previously unrecorded surface trace is described from a towed underw ater TV survey of the southern Clyde Sea area. The trace comprises a m ound with a single central opening, surrounded by a shallow trench wit h between 4 and 7 openings. The feature is approximately 10 cm in diam eter, and occurred in pairs in the majority (76%) of observations. Spa tial variability in the density of the feature was noted with densitie s estimated between 0.00134 and 0.0193 per m(2). The spatial distribut ions were analysed using quadrat and nearest-neighbour techniques, and were not found to be significantly different from random.
