Galvina picta (Aid. and Hanc). (Eolis.) W. Eare : one specimen on a 

 Laminaria root trawled in from 17-19 f. in the bay, May, 1909 

 (G. P. Farran). 



Favorinus albus (Aid. and Hanc). (Eolis.) W. Eare : 3 specimens, 20 mm. 

 long, were dredged in 5 f. off Granuaile's Castle, July, 1910. The long 

 anterior tentacular-like processes of the foot, described and figured as 

 pointing backwards in Alder and Hancock's Monograph, were found to 

 be quite mobile in these Clare Island specimens and pointed as freely 

 forwards as backwards. 



Facelina coronata (Forbes and Goodsir). (Eolis.) W.E. Frequent: 2 specimens 

 at low water, Portlea, Clare Island (E. LI. Praeger), several specimens on 

 the outer shore of Dorinish. 



Doto fragilis Forbes. M. ? Clew Bay, Co. Mayo (W. Thompson) : Aid. and 

 Hanc, 1851. 



Archidoris tuberculata (Cuvier). (Doris.) W. E. Frequent under stones at 

 low-water mark on the E. and S. shores of the island and on the shores 

 of Annagh Island and Inishimmel. Most of tlie specimens taken were 

 pure yellow ; a few only were mottled with brown and pink. 



Jorunna Johnstoni ("Aid. and Hanc). (Doris.) W. A single specimen 1 inch 

 in length was taken in a rock-pool at Portlea, July, 1910. 



Cadlina obvelata (Muller). (Doris re/panda.) E. Frequent under stones at 

 low-water mark, Annagh Island, Scotch Bonnet, and Inishimmel, May, 

 1910, the largest 1 inch in length. 



Rostanga coccinea (Aid. & Hanc). (Doris.) W. Eare. Three specimens of 

 this brilliantly coloured Dorid were taken by Mr. A. D. Cotton on a red 

 sponge at low water, Carrick-na-partan, Clare Island, July 20, 1909. One 

 of these spawned in the laboratory two days after it had been taken, the 

 spawn-coil being a broad band, nearly five times the length of the animal, 

 in which the cream-coloured eggs were thinly and irregularly scattered. 

 A fourth specimen was taken by Miss Jane Stephens in July, 1910, near 

 Grannaile's Castle, on the red sponge Oplvilitaspongia seriata. 



Triopa claviger Muller. W. E. Eare. One specimen was taken at Portarriv 

 in July, 1910, by Miss Mary Shaw, and another at Dorinish in May of 

 the same year by Miss Jane Stephens. 



Polycera quadrilineata (Miiller). W. Eare ? Two living specimens 12 mm. 

 long were taken in a dredging in 5 f. off the harbour, Clare Island, in July, 

 1909. In addition to the characteristic orange lineations on the body, 

 these examples wei'e marked by longitudinal rows of black spots, and no 

 doubt belong to Var. a of Alder's arrangement of the Xudibranchs in 

 Jeffreys' " British Conchology," v., p. 75.
