BIRDS OF DUBLIN AND WICKLOW. AT7 
Galathea Andrewsit.—On August 22nd I took an example of 
this species on the roots of some sea-weed in the trammel on our 
usual six-fathom ground. 
Doris tuberculata.— At the same place and time. 
Carystes cassivelaunus.—From the stomach of a Bass on the 
same day. 
Atelecyclus heterodon.—Same day. I found two very small 
specimens in a boat which had been “ crabbing” in deep water. 
Lepadogaster cornubiensis.— Under a stone amongst the 
shingle at low water, on August 22nd, we took a specimen of the 
“ Cornish Sucker,” so named because first noticed in this part of 
England, although now known to be widely distributed. It is 
generally found in shallow water, and fastens itself to one place, 
without moving, for hours together.. It preys on the smaller 
Crustacea, which it swallows whole. Full-grown specimens 
measure four inches in length.

Purasant.—A. few stragglers may be met with about the 
country that have strayed from preserves. 
GrovusE.—Numerous in the Dublin and Wicklow mountains. 
Parrripce.—Not yery plentiful, although I have shot them 
several times within a mile and a half of Dublin. 
Quait.—I once heard a Quail calling in a field between 
Malahide and Donabate, and on another occasion I heard one 
near the Vartry Reservoir; om both occasions in the spring. 
Common Heron.—Abundant during spring and autumn. 
Curtrw.—I have met with this bird during every month in the 
year along the sea coast. ‘Those I have shot in the latter part of 
spring and early summer are small birds with extraordinary long
