Family TurbiniD-B. 



Genus Eulima. 

 E. polita, Linn., 



Has long been known as found on the southern coast (Bantry Bay), and 

 of late years has been obtained by the dredge on the northern — by the 

 collectors to the Ordnance Survey, about the entrance of Belfast Bay — 

 by ]\Ir. Hyndman from the same locality, and at a depth of perhaps 20 

 fathoms — by that gentleman and myself at Strangford Lough, at 8 — 10 

 fathoms ; bottom pure sand in both localities ; very few individuals oc- 

 curred in any instance. 



Var. nitida, obtained by Mr. Barlee on the coast of Galway, in 1848, 

 according to a communication received from Mr. Jeffreys. 



E. subulata, Don. 

 Dredged from a sandy bottom, 8 — 10 fathoms, off Dundrum, Co. Down, 

 Mr. Hyndman and W. T. ; from 12 fathoms, Birterbuy Bay, Dr. Farran ; 

 Dublin and Youghal, in the stomach of Bulal lignaria, Dr. Ball. Taken 

 in Cork harbour : Cork Fauna. A specimen obtained at Bundoran by 

 Mr. Warren ; Ardmore, jNIrs. ^Nlackesy. Individuals extremely few in 

 number, — from 30 fathoms (sand), between Cape Clear and Baltimore 

 Harbour, Mr. ]\I'Andrew.

 M. ^lalbay. Prof. Harvey. Bundoran, Mrs. Hancock. Portmarnock, 

 Mr. Warren. Dredged from 15 fathoms, Birterbuy Bay, Dr. Farran, who 

 has likewise obtained it in Bantry Bay. In the former of these two local- 

 ities both this species and E. polita were procured by Mr. Barlee. Ard- 

 more, Co. Waterford, ^Irs. Mackesy. It will probably be met with on the 

 northern coast. In shell-sand, ckedged in Lamlash Bay (S. W. Scotland), 

 by Major Martin and the Rev. D. Landsborough, and favoured me by 

 those gentlemen, a number of specimens were found. It is worthy of 

 note, that the material in Avhich they were, contained a great quantity of 

 Ntdlijwra, and hence would be termed by some persons coral-sand ; it 

 was extremely rich in species of minute MoUusca and in Furaminifera. 

 Shell-sand, deep water, Belfast Bay, 1850, Mr. Hyndman.
