The benthic diatom floras at Clevedon and Weston-Super-Mare were studied over a period of two years, with paiticular emphasis on the tube-dwelling species. Eight sampling sites were regularly visited, the diatom flora at each recorded and comparison made between the sites on each shore and between the two shores. The differences due to seasonal fluctuations in diatom populations, and those due to geographic location are discussed. It is suggested that the type of diatom zonation found during this study is a result of those conditions peculiar to estuaries and may therefore be typical of estuarine diatom zonation in generaL
