I've got all the answers but don't understand a few of them. Can you please help?
Agreed, tome originally bound. (7). I've got tallied. All in tied? But why?

Head? Head of Balliol, formerly (5). Bonce. Again, why?

Crustaceans in catch caught by coastal vessels heading away. (4,5). Answer is land crabs. I don't understand the wordplay for crabs.

Thanks!

head of Balliol is B + once - formerly gives bonce - head?

Tome originally - T + allied - bound?

Are there coastal vessels ?rabs? c - caught + coastal vessels heading away - rabs = crabs?

Thanks ab! Bonce is a new one for me.

24A: (G) rabs - eastern coating vessels

".....heading away"

Grabs ab.
