roLYPODA. 435 



Genus Aphrodita. 



A. acuJeata, Linn. 



Of general occurrence. 



Newcastle {Doicn), Oct. 2nd, 1851. There has been a great storm here 

 from the South-East, for the last few days, and some of these Annelides 

 have been Avashed ashore. Three persons brought specimens (each one) 

 to me as " curiosities they had never seen before." One which I have 

 preserved is very large. Alga? and Zoophytes seem to be growing to its 

 spines. Polysyjjhonia parasitica is certainly ^^arasitic on its back. 



A. hystrix, Sav. 



Dredged in Belfast Bay, in 8 to 10 fathoms, Mr. Hyndman. 

 Also found on southern coast. 



E N T Z A. 



No notes on Entozoa have been found among ]\Ir. Thompson's j^apers. 

 The reader is therefore referred to his " Report," in 1843, for the cata- 

 logue which had at that time been furnished to him, by the kindness of 

 Dr. Bellingham of Dublin, in M'hich Mr, Thompson has embodied a list of 

 the species recorded by Templeton, and those contributed by Dr. ])rum- 

 mond.
