Report on the Marine Fauna of 8. W. of Ireland. 601 



This station presented us with the greatest number of interesting 

 specimens, which, however, mainly came up in the dredge at Log]S"o. 3. 

 The bottom appears to be sandy, with broken and living shells, and 

 patches of Pinna rudis in places, which latter were broken across the 

 middle by the dredge passing over them, their rounded ends being 

 mainly brought up. Unfortunately no fine material was obtained. 



Gephyra dorhnii on tubes of Tubularia indivisa, Palythoa sp., Epi- 

 zoanthus papillosus, commensal with Eupagurus excavatus and Spi- 

 ropagurus Isevis, Caryophyllia clavus, var. borealis. Ophiactis ballii, 

 Ophioglypha lacertosa, large. Ophiothrix lutkeni, large. Echinus 

 microstoma, Spatangus raschi. Lanice conchilega, Nothria conchilega. 



In addition to the two species of Paguridae just mentioned, were 

 E. bernhardus and an undetermined species of hermit crab living in a 

 Serpula-tube. Ebalia pennantii also occurred.
