To the Editors of the Annals of Natural History. 



Gentlemen, — I have the pleasure of informing you that a few 

 weeks since I found at Ballycotton, in the east of this county, alive 

 and in good condition, and imbedded in turf, which reached to low- 

 water mark, Pholas crispata, dactylus and Candida (the last very 

 abundantly), and to my great pleasure, several specimens of P. papy- 

 racea, now for the first time obtained in this county, and except one 

 specimen found near Dungarvan by Dr. Farren, new to Ireland. 



Yours truly, 



Samuel Wright.
