Abstract
The zonation of two species of chitons, 70 species of gastropods and 19 species of bivalves inhabiting the rocky cliffs and erosion platforms of four southern Somalian localities exposed in varying degrees to wave action, was plotted on the basis of quantitative collections along transects. Also included are data on the coastal morphology and algal covering. The composition and zonation of the mollusc community, which is clearly related to wave exposure and cliff profile, corresponds to that of other known continental and insular localities in the Western Indian Ocean.
