Note

We recently discovered a large subtidal population of Molgula pacijica in Barkley Sound, British Columbia, approximately 35 km from the type locality. In this paper, we describe the general characteristics of this species' habitat, give a quantitative analysis of distributional patterns on several scales, present a general description of its anural development, and report an unusual developmental adaptation that may permit exploitation of high-energy subtidal habitats.
