About 220 species of Lamellibranchia are included in the British Fauna, 
of which 155 are Irish: to these, eight only—indicated in the usual manner 
in the preceding table—can be added, which have not a place in the cata- 
logue of Great Britain, making the total number of Irish species 163. The 
marine species of that island unknown to us are the rarest there, not one of 
the many being common, and nearly all being local and confined to one district. 
It is not so with the freshwater species, Unio pictorum, U.tumidus, and Cyclas 
rivicola, which are more widely diffused, but at the same time become rare 
_ * Pandora inequivalvis (P. rostrata, Lam.). In Turton’s catalogue of Irish Shells 
it is stated that specimens said to be from Bantry were shown him, but in his sub- 
sequent works (Conch. Dict, and Brit. Biy.) no Irish station is given for the species.
