LERNEADA. 41 1 



ORDER LERNEADA. 



Genus Lernea. 



L. uncinata, Miill., 



I obtained on the gills of a Gadus callarias, taken at Lame (County 

 Antrim) in the summer of 1834. By Dr. Bellingham of Dublin I have 

 been favoured with specimens, which he found attached to the gills of 

 whiting ( Merlanr/us vuhjaris) brought to the market of the metropolis. 



In 1846, Dr. Drummond found it at Holy wood, attached to the base of 

 the pectoral fin of a small codling. 



Genm Choxdracanthus. 

 C. eornutiis, Edw. 

 To Dr. Bellingham I am indebted for specimens of this, which were 

 found by him attached to the gills of sole, purchased in Dublin market 

 in May, 1S37. 



C. Lophii, Johnst. Mag. Nat. Hist., vol. ix. p. 81, f. 16. 



The first specimens which I have seen were procured by Dr. Scouler on 

 a Lophius piscatornis in Dublin ; more recently they occurred to myself, in 

 the pouches of a fish of the same species brought to that city. 



C. f/ibhosus, Kroyer. 



Taken in the pouches of a Lophius piscatorius in Dublin, December, 

 1839 (W. T.), and from pouches of three individuals captured in Belfast 

 Bay, November, 1841. M. Edwards brings this species with doubt under 

 C. Delarochiana (Cuv. Reg. Anim.), which has been found on the tunny, 

 Thynmis vulgaris. C. Lophii, Johnston, Loudon's Mag. Nat. Hist., ix. 

 81, f. 16, already recorded, seems to me identical with C. f/ibbosiis, 

 Kroyer. 



Genus Entomoda. 



E. canicula, Thomp. J. V. 

 " South of Ireland," J. V. T. 



E. piiella, Thomp. J. V. 

 '• South of Ireland," J. V. T. 



Gemis Brachiella. 

 B. sahnonea, Templeton. 

 " North of Ireland," Mr. Templeton. 



Genus Lerneopoda. 

 L. f/alei, Kroyer, 



Was found by its describer on the fin of a Squo/iis (/dh'us, Linn. ; on 

 which species, from Belfast Bay, I likewise obtained my specimen in De- 

 cember, 1839 : — it was adherent to the cavitv posterior to the vent of the 

 fish.
