166 FAUNISTIC NOTES. 



Enpolia curta, llubrecht. This uemertine was found on three 

 occasions, and was identified by Mr. Riches, who had already taken a 

 specimen in the neighbourhood. It has not previously been recorded 

 for the Atlantic, but occurs in the Mediterranean, at Mauritius, Polynesia, 

 and the West Coast of South America.* We have taken it in the 

 following localities : (1) \ mile N.W. by h N. of Eddystone, August 16th, 

 ground fine broken shell (17-20 fms.); (2) Off Borough Island, August 

 20th, soft red rock interspersed with gravel (17 fms.) ; (3) 5 miles S. by 

 E. of Prawl Point, September 17th, shells, broken shell, and gravel 

 (34 fms.). 



Dondersia hanyuhnsis, Pruvot. {Arch. Zool. Exper. et Gen. ix. 1891, 

 p. llb) = Myzoiiicnia hanynh'nsis (Simrot, "Mollusca," Bronn. Thier- 

 Rcichs, 1893, p. 231.) This interesting neomenian, for the identification 

 of which I am indebted to Mr. Garstang, was taken 3 miles E. by N. of 

 the Eddystone, on the 30th September, in 30 fathoms. Four specimens 

 of the bright red variety were found on the hydroid Lafoea dnmosa, var. 

 robusta, growing on Pecten shells. The species has previously been 

 found, also on Lafoea dumosa, at Banyul and Eoscoff. 



Lyonsia norvegica. This lamellibranch was obtained off Prawl Point. 

 A specimen was subsequently taken off Stoke Point. 



In addition to the above, which were obtained from deeper water, the 

 following species taken in the ordinary collecting work of the Laboratory 

 may be mentioned. 



Tuhiclava lucerna, Allman, growing on stones dredged from Millbay 

 Channel (within the Sound), on November 14th. Gonophores were not 

 present. The species is much more slender than Tuhiclava cornucopia, 

 Norman, and the corrugation of the polyj)ary, and its dilatation at the 

 base of the polypite, were very marked. It has previously been taken 

 by Allman, in a rock-pool at Torquay and in Dublin Bay. It does not 

 appear to have been since recorded. 



Stylocho'plana maculata, Quatrefages, was found in numbers on 

 December 11th, crawling upon zostera dredged in Cawsand Bay. 

 Gamble f gives the following localities for this species : Berwick Bay 

 (Johnston); Firth of Forth (Dalyell); Firman Bay, Guernsey (Laukester); 

 St. Andrews (Mcintosh); Jersey (Koehler); St. Malo (Quatrefages); 

 St. Vaaste-la-Hogue (Clapar^de). It has not been previously recorded 

 for this district. E. J. Allen.
