and M. lineatus. Several species of the Nemertine genus 

 Tetrastefjina were found, including T. dorsale, T. candidwn, T, 

 ver7mculat2ivi, and T. mela7iocephalum (var. diademd). The Anne- 

 lids were extensively represented on this ground, and Siphono- 

 stoma diplochcetos, Halosydjia gelatinosa, and a form, apparently 

 Myriariida maculata {Q\2i^.){=Myria7iidape?i7iigera of Montagu), 

 were noted, the last bearing a chain of buds at its hinder end. 

 A Gephyrean, Phy7nosoma papillosum, Thompson, was dug out 

 of the tide-pools. It has been previously taken by Dr. Kinahan 

 from the coast of Clare, by Dr. Norman in Birterbuy bay, and 

 from Polperro by lyaughrin. The Nudibranch Molluscs 

 were abundant. Archidoris tuberculata was spawning, 

 AcaTithodoris pilosa (several varieties), Goniodoris 7iodosa and 

 Jorumia Joh7istani, Polycera quadrili7ieata, Triopa claviger^ 

 yEgirus pU7ictiluce7is, Eo lis papulosa, a form identical with E. 

 Peachii^ A. and Yi.,^olidella glauca,Faceli7ia coro7iata,Favori7ius 

 albus, Coryphella gracilis, and perhaps best of all A7itiopa 

 hyalina^ occurred here. Thelastspecieshas not, I believe, been 

 previously recorded from this coast. In addition, Li77iapo7itia 

 nigra, ActcE07ija corrugata and Elysia viridis, PleurobraTtchus 

 plu77iula, and very small Aplysia pu7ictata, form the list of 

 Opisthobranchiate molluscs. Of the Pycnogonida, the most 

 interesting form on this shore was A7ioplodactylus viresce7iSy 

 Hodge, apparently a new species for Ireland, as Mr. G. H. 

 Carpenter, who has kindly examined the collection of 

 Pycnogonida, informs me. Af7t77ioihea eclmiata, and Pycno- 

 go7ium littorale also occurred in this localit}^ 



Below Glanleam, the seat of the Knight of Kerry, is a shore 

 composed of boulders imbedded in sand. This, although not 

 so prolific a locality as the last, yielded the following, in addi- 

 tion to many of the foregoing species. Nkmkrtea: — I^ emeries 

 Neesii, Micrurafasciolata, Li7teus lo7igissi77ius\ Nudibranchia: — 

 Facelina pU7ictata. A Decapod {Xa7itho rivulosa) is abundant 

 here, and Kinahan found it when collecting at Valencia.

A short walk across the headland bounding the entrance 

 to the harbour on the south, brings one near Murreagh 

 Point to a bay, which at low water affords good collecting. 

 Myriothela phrygia and Cory7tactis viridis are the most striking 

 Coelentera, while Coryphella gracilis and yEolidella glauca are
