List of Crustacea inhabiting Belfast Bay. 
By Professor Joun Rosert Kinanan, I.D,, MRA. 
Explanatory marks:—D. Specimens obtained by me in 1858. CC, In collections. 
C.S.B. Identified by C. Spence Bate, Esq. 
This is made up from the following sources:—(1) Specimens obtained 
during dredging excursions at Bangor, Groomsport, Holywood, Carrick- 
fergus, Whitehead, Blackhead, and the Gobbins ; these species are marked 
D, and have been all carefully identified. (2) A careful examination of 
the specimens in the Belfast Museum, most of which are marked in the late 
Mr. W. Thompson’s own hand; in the private collection of Mr. Geo. C. 
Hyndman; and some few which had been preserved by Edward Waller, 
Esq. (3) From the specimens obtained by the Ordnance Survey Collectors 
in 1837-38. And (4) as regards the Amphipoda, chiefly a list of the speci- 
mens collected by the late W. Thompson, Esq., and submitted to Mr. West- 
wood, kindly furnished to me by Charles Spence Bate, Esq., F.L.S., by whom 
they were identified. The list must be, however, looked on as a mere 
approximation to a full list of Crustacea, as many of the Amphipoda and 
Isopoda recorded even in Thompson’s lists are purposely omitted, being 
critical species which have been so imperfectly described as to render their
