10 Mr. W. Thompson on the Fauna of Ireland, 



Strangford lough on the 1st of Oct. ; the particular date is men- 

 tioned in reference to the question whether the C. coronatus may no 

 be the young of C. lumpus. Without offering any opinion on this 

 point, it seems to me proper to notice the capture of this minute fish 

 elsewhere than on the coast of Cornwall, where one individual only 

 has been observed.

* These having been mostly communicated to me (in 1835) in the order 

 and under the names in which they appear in Fleming's 'British Animals,' are 

 chiefly so arranged, and thus some genera, &c. on which new light has been 

 thrown, still appear under their old appellations. The multiplication of ha- 

 bitats has not been thought of in an article like the present, in which I am 

 particular only about noting the place (in so far as I am informed) where 

 the species occurred to those who in this country first studied and deter- 

 mined them. 



Notices of Irish mollusca are so widely scattered, that I may, after having 

 taken considerable care, still be in error respecting the introduction of some 

 species as " additions " to the Fauna. 



f Spirula australis, published many years ago as found by Mr. O'Kelly 

 on the coast of Kerry, is mentioned in the late Mr. Templeton's MS. as 

 havingbeen obtained " near Whitehouse," Belfast Bay ; and at Portrush near 

 the Giant's Causeway, by Mrs. Clewlow. Mr. R. Ball has procured it near 

 Youghal, as Mr. W. H. Harvey once did on the coast of Clare. 



X This is indicated as Irish in the abstract of a paper by Mr. R. Ball just 

 published in the Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy : with this expla- 

 nation the species is here retained in consequence of the late Mr. Temple- 

 ton's note on it.
