An experimental technique, with which independent scores of orientation can be obtained for single specimens, confirms the existence of an innate directional tendency in the solar orientation of littoral amphipods (Talitrus saltator Montagu) which varies according to the disposition of the home beach of each population. Correct orientation persists even in the offspring of parents born in captivity.
