Mr. W. Thompson's Additions to the Fauna of Ireland. 433 



Planaxis ? lineata. Da Costa (sp.) ; Buccinum lineatum. A specimen 

 was found in a fishing-boat at Bray, near DubHn, by Mr. Warren, 

 and several specimens have been collected on the beach at Bun- 

 doran by Mrs. Hancock. Professor E. Forbes remarks that the 

 species should probably be a Nassa, especially if truly native. 



Velutina otis, Turton. Procured at Miltown Malbaj' by Mr. W. H. 

 Harvey, and in Clifden bay, county Galway, a dead specimen was 

 obtained by dredging, in July 1840: R. Ball, E. Forbes, G. C. 

 Hyndman, W. T. 



Class ACEPHALA. 



Order Brachiopoda. 



Terebratida aurita, Flem., Phil. Zool. ; T. caput- so-pent is, Lam. The 

 Ordnance Museum, Phoenix Park, Dublin, contains a specimen 

 labelled as obtained at "Whitehead bay, county Antrim, November 

 1839 :" it was I believe taken alive by dredging. 



Terebratula psittacea, Turt. (sp.). Conch. Diet. p. 5. A specimen of 

 this Terebratula , labelled "Dublin bay," was observed by Mr. Alder 

 and myself in the museum of the Royal Dublin Society in August 

 last. Turton mentions a single specimen of " Anomia terebratula " 

 being " dredged up alive in Dublin bay, and placed in the museum 

 of the Dublin Society," but we could not ascertain whether the 

 shell now preserved was that alluded to by Turton. " Anomia 

 psittacea " was noticed by him only as an English species. 



Order Lamellibranchiata. 



Pecten nebulosus, Brown's Illust. In Dr. Farran's collection are spe- 

 cimens of this Pecten, purchased of a dealer who stated that he 

 procured them from Lough Foyle, county Londonderry : this evi- 

 dence, as Dr. Farran remarks, is insufficient ; but it seems to me 

 desirable to notice the circumstance, as the species, which inhabits 

 the western coast of Scotland, may probably occur on the neigh- 

 bouring coast of Ireland. I have seen fine specimens from Lough 

 Fyne, Argyleshire. Pecten glaber, Penn. and Mont., beheved to 

 be identical with this, has been obtained by Mr. Humphreys at 

 Cork (Ann. Nat. Hist. vol. v. p. 12). 



Lima tenera, Turton, Zool. Journ. vol. ii. The Ordnance Museum 

 contains upon a card a fresh-looking specimen of this shell, and 

 one of Lima frag His l^^ielled.^\\\h. the latter name as dredged from 

 7 fathoms in Belfast bay. L. tenera has long been known to me 

 as found, by Dr. Wm. M'^Gee, in a recent deposit of mud in Belfast 

 bay, close to the town. 



Area Noce, Linn. Fine and perfect specimens of the true Area Noa 

 (according to Mr. Alder) are in Mr. Warren's collection : they were 

 procured on the coast of Cork by Mr. Townsend. 



Amphidesma tenuis, Turt., Brit. Biv. p. 53; Ligula tenuis, Mont., 

 Test. Brit. p. 572. t. 17. f. 7. I have received specimens of this 

 well-marked species from Larne lough, county of Antrim. 



Lepton squamosu7n, Turt., Brit. Biv. ; Solen squamosum, Mont. A
