Giascottr—A List of some of the Rotifera of Ireland. 55 
Habitat.—A. stream among Cladophora and Vaucheria, Co. 
Waterford ; a single specimen from a stream, Co. Wexford; tide- 
pools, River Barrow, Oo. Wexford; the Canal, Dublin. 
N.B.—I noticed that the specimens from tide-pools were 
smaller than those from streams, and much more quiet and deli- 
berate in manner, and the first and third yet of the foot were 
not protruded. 
Fureularia longiseta (Ehrenberg). 
[The Rotifera, vol. ii. p. 46, Pl. XVIII. fig. 16.] 
Frequent. 
Habitat.—Ponds and ditches, Cos. Waterford and Wexford. 
Fureularia zequalis (Ehrenberg). 
[The Rotifera, vol. 1. p. 46, Pl. XVIII. fig. 15.] 
One specimen occurred which answered to the description of 
the body; but the toes, though nearly so, were not absolutely 
of equal length. 
Habitat.—A. pond, Co. Wexford. 
Fureularia sterea, Gosse. 
[The Rotifera, p. 25, Pl. XX XI. fig. 15, of “ Supplement.’’] 
This species has occurred several times, though not common. 
It is stout and compactly made, the specific feature being well 
defined. It was first identified as the above-named species by Mr. 
C. Rousselet, to whom I had sent it amongst others in a phial. I 
have met with examples in which no eye was apparent, but usually 
it is placed in the centre of, and almost directly on the line of, the 
frontal margin. 
Habitat.—Bog-moss, Co. Kerry. <A bog, Co. Wexford. 
Furcularia semisetifera, sp. nov. 
[Pl. IV. fig. 2. | 
Sp. Ch.—Sub-cylindric; face oblique; toes long, round, and 
stout at the base, and abruptly passing at about a third of their 
length into a hair-like filament. 
This species is almost identical with F. forficula in shape, size, 
and in fact all points but the toes, but here we find a wide divergence.
