170 The Irish Naturalist. 



Amongst the Polyzoa Ccllcpora avicularis Hincks, was 

 obtained in great abundance encrusting Hydrallmania falcata, 

 Linn., and other zoophytes. So far this species has been 

 recorded in Ireland only from the coast of Antrim, but, as 

 Hincks says, it has probably been passed over from its super- 

 ficial resemblance to the common Ccllcpoi-a pumicosa, Linn. 



As no collections have ever been previously recorded from 

 this district I give below the entire list of those obtained.

{Concluded from page 155.) 



CHRYSOIYIELIDJE. 



Donacla discolor, Panz.— Berehaveu ; Bere Island; Hungry Hill. 

 The only other record for Ireland is Ardara, Co. Donegal, but specimens 

 have been obtained (besides the localities just mentioned) at Killarney 

 (July, 1892), Leixlip, and the Royal Canal, near Dublin. We doubt, 

 however, if this form should be considered distinct from D. sericcus. 



Lema lichen Is, Voet. — Cavan, common in moss on trees. 



Chrysomela Banksl, F. — Coolmore. 



C. staphylca, L. — Cavan, common. 



C, hyperlcl, Forst. — Near Ballyhaise, in moss.
