Specimens of this species were dredged during the cruise 

 of the ** Hyaena," in the Menai Straits, off Bangor, from a 

 depth of ten fathoms; bottom muddy. It was again taken in 

 August, from a depth of twelve fathoms, off Port Erin, Isle of 

 Man ; and from rock-pools at Fleshwick Bay, Port Erin, and 

 elsewhere in that neighbourhood, almost always on Corallina 

 officinalis. 



Byerley (loc. cit.) records it at Hilbre Island, among sea- 

 weed and sponge. We have found it in great abundance 

 under stones at low water spring-tides at Llandudno and 

 Beaumaris ; and, more sparingly, in deep water in the Menai 

 Straits, from Puffin Island to Menai Bridge.
