284 REPORT—1858. 
for March 1858. I may also quote an extract from a note of Mr. Jeffreys 
of the 13th September, showing his latest views :—“‘ I found, in the dredged 
sand from the Turbot-bank, two or three shells or fragments which appear 
to belong to Cerithium reticulatum; but they are evidently fossel, and as 
completely mineralized as a Ewomphalus from the mountain-limestone, 
This fact is interesting, and may be, I think, considered fair ground for an 
inference that the other shells found with these fossils (being in a totally 
different condition) are recent.” 
Dr. Kinahan, of Dublin, having lately visited Belfast, took the oppor- 
tunity of inspecting the late William Thompson’s collection of Crustacea, 
and some private collections. He has kindly furnished a list of the species 
he observed, and corrected some mistakes in the names, and has also added 
to our list a new Crangon, which he has named Pattersonii.
