LEPTOPODIADJE. 



tinned lt a specimen dredged in Clifton Bay, Connemara, 

 by Mr. Forbes and Mr. Hall, and another in Belfast Bay 

 by Mr. Patterson. 11 The latter specimen, through tho 

 kindness of Mr. Thompson, I have now before me. It is a 

 young male. The same gentleman subsequently states that 

 he had seen specimens from Belfast Bay " in the Ordnance 

 collection. 11 This is the extent of our knowledge of this 

 curious species. 



Dr. Milne Edwards has misquoted Leach's specific name 

 as " Leptorinclius" and this error has been copied by Mr. 

 Couch in his " Cornish Fauna.'"
