274 REPORT—1843. 
In the tribe Hirudina are four British genera unknown as Irish—Udonella, 
Johnst., Malacobdella, Blain., Tristoma, Cuv., Hirudo*. Of the eighteen 
British species nine are Irish, and in addition to the latter are Piscicola 
perce and a new species of Piscicola > which is marine. 
In Lumbricina, there is but one genus, Zravisia, Johnst., unknown as 
Irish. Of the seventeen British species, eight are Irish, to which seven un- 
recorded as British are to be added. 
The tribe Serpulina§ contains one British genus—Othonia, Johnst.—un- 
known as Irish, but as such only, the genus Ditrupa, Berk.||, is recorded. 
Of the fifty-three British species, twenty-two are described as: Irish, in addi- 
tion to which is the Ditrupa subulata. ; 
Under Nereidina are nine British genera, Funice, Schweig., Onuphis, Aud, 
and Edw., Myriana, Aud.and Edw., Psamathe, Johnst., Joida, Johnst., Glycera, 
Lam., Leucodore, Johust., Nerine, Johnst., Pholoe, Johnst., not included in the 
Irish catalogue. Of forty-five British species, fourteen are recorded as Irish, 
in addition to which are five undescribed as British, viz. Nereis Dumerilit, N. 
fucata, N.renalis, N. longissima, Spio calearea (S. seticornis, Penn ?). 
' Of doubtful Annelides Dr. Johnston enumerates four species, belonging to 
as many genera; these are Campontia, Branchiarius, Mont., Diplotis, Mont., 
Derris, Adams: the first only is known as Irish. 
The whole of the recorded Annelides of Great Britain according to Dr. John- 
ston’s catalogue are 167 species: the number known as Irish is 804]. These 
numbers are useful only in denoting the species already known as indigenous to 
the respective islands, and give no idea of the number of species inhabiting our 
coasts and inland waters. In a forenoon’s search several species might be 
added to either catalogue. About one-third of the British species were made 
known by Dr. Johnston, nearly all of which were previously undescribed. 
FORAMINIFERA. 
The native Foraminifera were included in the catalogues of Irish “ Tes- 
tacea” published by Capt. Brown and Dr. Turton, whose species have nearly all 
come under my own observation. The additional species, obtained and deter- 
mined by Templeton and Mr. W. H. Harvey, were published in the Annals of 
Natural History, vol. v. p. 10, and those by Mr. Hyndman and myself will 
a y in vol. xiii. of the same work.

+ Dr. Johnston has since informed me that he likewise has an undescribed marine 
Piscicola. 
{ These six are earthworms of the genus Lumbricus (see preceding catalogue) 
described by Templeton, with whom I agree in constituting them distinct species, but 
whether they be described as such by other authors I am not aware. 
§ The genus Lobutula included in this tribe by Dr. Johnston is omitted here, but 
brought in under Foraminifera. 
|| D. subulata only is brought under this genus in Dr. Johnston’s catalogue. 
4] Many undetermined species are in my collection. 
** In the second edition of Brown’s Illustrations (of which a few parts are pub- 
lished) the term Renoidea is restricted to oblonga: the Ren. glabra and Ren. rotundat 
are placed in D. Orbigny’s genus 7'riloculina.
