Eulalia punctifera Grube. 



1908. Eulcdia nebulosa. Mcintosh, p. 53. 



This species is very rare in the district, only three specimens having been 

 found. It was first described under the name Phyllodoce (Eulalia) punctifera 

 by Grube, in 1860, and the specific name nebulosa was not published till 1867, 

 by Parfitt, though it had been used in MS. by Montagu in 1808 (fide Mcintosh, 

 1908, p. 53). Consequently the name given by Grube, which has been used 

 by all modern writers except Mcintosh, has precedence. 



Habitat. — Blacksod Bay — -A single specimen found under a stone on the 

 shore on the north side of Feorinyeeo Bay. Ballynakill 

 Harbour — Two specimens found on the shore. 



Distribution. — West of Ireland ; south-west of England ; Dogger Bank ; 

 France; Monaco; Adriatic. 



Eulalia viridis (Miiller). 



1908. Eulcdia viridis. Mcintosh, p. 55. 



This species is extremely common throughout the district, both in the 

 littoral and shallow-water regions. 



In addition to the type form, the Eulalia ornata of de Saint-Joseph 

 (1888, p. 291) and the Eulalia aureaoi Gravier (1897, p. 309) were frequently 

 found in Blacksod Bay. Mcintosh regards these two species as colour varieties 

 of E. viridis. At any rate the colour pattern is definite and constant, and 

 entitles these two forms to rank as distinct varieties of E. viridis. Another 

 variety, with dark-green body and reddish-brown cirri, was also found in 

 Blacksod Bay. 



Habitat. — Blacksod Bay — Found on the shore on 16 occasions. Dredged 

 in 1 fm. Clew Bay — Common on the shores of Clare 

 Island. Dredged on 6 occasions, in 5-17 fms. Ballynakill

 Mediterranean ; South Africa ; Japan.

1908. Eulcdia tripunctata. Mcintosh, p. 63.

 Barranagh. Dredged in Elly Bay in 1 fm. Clew Bay —
