Abstract
The paper presents information on the burrows of a number of species t hat occur on Squilla grounds in the coastal Adriatic off Ancona, Italy . The burrows and burrowing behaviour of Brachynotus gemmellari are de scribed for the first time. For Upogebia tipica, Solecurtus strigilatu s and Gobius niger, the observations add to sparse burrow information in the literature. Little is known of the burrows of Echiura in the Me diterranean: those of two species are briefly described from surface f eatures.
