In this family Ireland would seem to possess one species 
more than Great Britain, Lepadogaster cephalus, which was 
described from a specimen taken on the western coast*. Le- 
padogaster Cornubiensis is a local species known to inhabit the 
coasts of Antrim and Clare; L. bimaculatus is taken on the 
eastern and western coasts by dredging in deep water; Cyelo- 
pterus Lumpus is common from north to south. Of Liparis 
vulgaris I have not seen any Irish specimen; it is stated in the 
Ordnance Survey of Londonderry to have been procured at 
* Lough Foyle and Larnet;” of LZ. Montagui, I have seen a 
few specimens which were taken on every side of the island.

The Murena Helena only of the British Anguillide is cer- 
tainly wanting to the Irish catalogue ; there is but one recorded 
instance of its capture on the coast of Great Britain. 
The Echiodon, of which a single individual was discovered 
on the Irish coast, has not yet been met with elsewhere. An-

t One of these specimens, kindly offered to my inspection by Capt. Port- 
lock, though not well marked as Z. Montagui, I considered to be of this 
species.
