Nephtys is called white-bait often (on account of its silvery appearance) 

 here ; it is used for hand-line fishing ; the lug being considered good 

 enough for the long lines, at least according to the one fisherman's 

 report.

Aug. 2(5, 1844. A very handsome Aphrodite-looking species dredged 

 to-day by Mr. Hyndman ofi" Castle Chichester, Belfast Bay, was brought 

 to me. It was taken about a mile from the shore on shelly ground in 

 from six to ten fathoms water. Being soon after capture sent to Dr. 

 Johnston, it proved as new to him as to myself, and was left at Berwick 

 for him to notice until lately, when, in consequence of his having ceased 

 to study the Annelides, it was returned to me. Professor AUman then 

 kindly undertook its examination, and determined it to be this Euphru- 

 si/na. The specimen is an inch in length ; the size attributed to the spe- 

 cies by M. Edwards. Two others, differing only in being smaller, were 

 last year purchased by Dr. 11. Ball (of JNI'Calla), but it was not stated on 

 what part of the coast they were procured. This is the first record of the 

 genus Euphrosijna inhabiting the British seas. M. Edwards's specimens 

 were taken on oyster-banks in the two neighbouring localities of St. Malo 

 and between Granville and Chausey ; in the latter locality, a league and 

 a half from the shore, and at the depth of fifteen fathoms.
