Mr. W. Thompson's Additions to the Fauna of Ireland. 175 



Annelida. 



Tristoma coccineum, Cuv. 



Several individuals of this species (as I learn from Mr. John D. 

 Humphreys) were found on a sun-fish, Orthagoriscus mola, taken in 

 Cork harbour in Sept. 1846. To Dr. Harvey of Cork, to whom they 

 were given, I am indebted for one of the specimens. 



FoRAMINIFERA. 



Having learned that Mr. Searles V. Wood had been giving some 

 attention to the Foraminifera in connexion with his species from the 

 Crag formation, and was desirous of seeing recent forms, I on a late 

 visit to England took for his inspection as many from the Irish coast 

 as could be obtained. That gentleman was much gratified on find- 

 ing some of these identical in species with those from the Crag. I 

 am indebted to him for naming some of the following which had 

 not been examined by myself: he agreed with me in opinion re- 

 specting the species that I had named. As I have not attended 

 much to the synonymy of the species, it is possible that some of the 

 following may have before appeared under other names.

 Bundoran, Mr. W. 



* Guttulina Planed, D'Orb. (his specimens were from Patagonia). Re- 

 noidea oblonga, Brown, Illust. pi. 1. f. 16, 17, already recorded by me as Irish 

 (Bundoran, Mrs. H.), apparently identical with G. Plancii. 



f See D'Orbigny, Foram. 1'Amer. Merid. p. 76 — his Q. cora is a South 

 American form ; Q. semilunaris is Mediterranean.
