252 Mr. Thompson's Additions to the Fauna of Ireland, 



was tenanted by the Pagurus Prideauxii, Leach, a species 

 whichj extensively as the native Paguri have been collected by 

 me, never occurred under other circumstances. 



Bowerbankia Arm, Fane, Johnst. B. Z. 255. f. 41. p. 25G. When 

 shown this zoophyte by Dr. Farre in the spring of 1837, I re- 

 cognised it as b species which had not uncommonly occurred to 

 me in the north-east coast, attached in the form of minute tufts 

 to the stems of Desmarestia aculeata, Furcellariafastigiata,&c. 

 I once procured it from the under side of a stone in Belfast 

 bay. 



Lagenclla r opens, Farre. Bowerbankia repens, Johnst. B. Z. 256. 

 vign. p. 235. In January 1835, this occurred to me in Strang- 

 ford lough, but I was unable to identify it with any described 

 species. Dr. Farre's excellent memoir, which appeared in the 

 Philosophical Transactions for 1837, supplied this want; and 

 since that time I have by the examination of the living polype 

 obtained in the locality just named (and on the same species 

 of algae as the B. densa,) ascertained to a certainty its identity 

 with B. repens. 



Crisia luxata, Flem. Johnst. B. Z. 262. pi. 30. f. 5. 6. Attached 

 to the base of various algae collected near Glenarm by Miss 

 Davison in 1833. Youghal, Miss Ball; Waterford coast Miss 

 A. Taylor. 



*Anguinaria spatulata, Lam. Johnst. B. Z. 266. pi. 30. f. 7, 8. 

 This is stated in Mr. Templeton's catalogue to have been 

 " found on the shore at Carrickfergus, on the sand, Aug. 

 1811."— Mag. Nat. Hist. ix. p. 466. The specimen labelled 

 under this name in Mr. Templeton's collection is Campanularia 

 syringa, but having " Belfast Lough" simply written on it may 

 not be the one published. Of the A. spatulata I possess spe- 

 cimens which invest the stem of Dasya coccinea, collected at 

 Youghal by Miss Ball. 



■\Tubulipora patina, Lam. Johnst. B. Z. 267. pi. 31. f. 1 — 3. On 



* Hippothoa lanceolata, Gray. Johnst. B. Z. 265. As only one habitat, 

 Kinsale, county Cork, is known for this very minute, but well-marked spe- 

 cies, it may be stated that it once occurred to me on a stone dredged in deep 

 water at the entrance of Strangford lough. 



f Tubidipora obelia, Johnst. B. Z. 269. pi. 31. f. 7, 8. Obtained with the 

 last. Specimens from Kinsale have been noticed by Mr. J. E. Gray, but 

 the species being considered rare, a second and northern habitat is given. 

 By reference to Mr. Templeton's specimens, I find that his Pherusa tubulosa 

 (Mag. Nat. Hist. ix. p. 469,) is the Tubulipora serpens, Flem. {T. trans- 

 versa, Lam.) — This species it will be recollected was the Millepora tubulosa 

 of Ellis and Solander.
