ON THE FAUNA OF IRELAND. 
287 
additional species were noticed by myself in the fifth volume (p. 254) of the 
Annals of Natural History. More recently, the native species obtained by Mr. 
Hassall, myself and others, and those procured by Wm, McCalla, collector 
to the Royal Dublin Society, were placed in Dr. Johnston’s hands for descrip- 
_ tion in his work on the British Sponges which appeared in 1842. They are 
fully treated of there, with the exception of one species, the Grantia lacunosa 
(which I obtained in Strangford lough in July 1838) being accidentally 
omitted. The names in the following list are those adopted in the work just 




mentioned.
