Oria Armandi (Claparede). 



1894. Oria Armandi. De Saint-Joseph, p. 321. 



This species was found only in Laminaria roots. Mature specimens 

 were found in September. 



Habitat. — Blacksod Bay — Found on the shore on 2 occasions. Clew 

 Bay— Dredged on 2 occasions, in 9-16 fms. 



Distribution,. — South-west coast of England: France; Mediterranean: 

 Madeira. 



Chone Duneri Mahngren. 



1867. Chone Duneri. Mahngren, p. 116. 1911. C. D. Fauvel, p. 42. 



A single specimen was dredged in 1 1 fathoms in Clew Bay. The trunk 

 is slender, 16 mm. long, and the anal region is pointed. The specimen is a 

 mature male full of sperm, and was taken in August. The chief points 

 distinguishing this species from C. infundibidiformis are the low narrow collar 

 and the long filiform tips to the branchiae, and in both these respects the 

 present specimen agrees with C. Duneri. I have compared it with specimens 

 from the Arctic Ocean, named by Fauvel, and now in the Brussels Museum, 

 and the resemblance between the two forms is very close. C. Duneri has 

 been recorded from the Clyde area, 1 but an examination of the specimen 

 kindly sent to me by Dr. Gemmill shows that it is a large example of V. 

 infinulibuliformis. 



Habitat. — Clew Bay — Dredged in 11 fms., on stony ground. 



Distribution. — North Sea (Jutland); Norway; Spitsbergen; Kara Sea; 

 Arctic ; Madeira. 



Chone filicaudata sp. n. 



Pis. XIV-XV, figs. 32a-l. 



1910. Chone infundibidiformis (Kroyer). Southern, p. 241. 



I formerly recorded this species from Dublin Bay as C. infundibidiformis 

 (Kroyer), but a subsequent examination of a number of specimens from the 

 west coast has shown that it differs markedly from any previously described 

 species. It resembles Jasmineira caiidata, Langerhans, in having a filiform 

 anal appendage. 



This species has been found in Inishlyre Harbour, Ballynakill Harbour, 

 Dingle Bay, and Dublin Bay. 



The body is short, and comparatively stout. The whole body is 11 mm. 

 long; the trunk being 7 mm., and the branchiae 4 mm. The width is 1*5 mm. 

 in the largest specimen, a female full of eggs.
