P. Candida, Linn. — Dublin, a few valves on the strand near the 

 village of Howth, and also, rarely, on the Velvet strand, Port- 

 marnock. Donegal: White strand, Buncrana. I have noticed 

 this species as occurring freely in Wexford. Near Teeling Bay, 

 Donegal (Carrick), Pholas castings and borings are very plentiful 

 in limestone rocks, sixty feet above the present sea-level.

 at Portmarnock (Miss Willan).]

 gathered the tube (apparently of this species) on the strand.

NOTES AND QUERIES. 



Irish Natural History. — Those who take an interest in Zoology in 

 Ireland must have felt the want of some popular Journal, wherein the 

 observations of naturalists resident in that country might be periodically 

 reported, and a useful medium of communication established. We are glad 

 to learn that at length this want is to be supplied. In April next, we 

 understand, there will appear the first number of ■ The Irish Naturalist,' 

 which is described on a prospectus which has reached us as " a Monthly 

 Journal of general Irish Natural History, and the official organ of the 

 Roy. Zool. Soc. of Ireland, the Belfast Nat. Hist. Soc. and Belfast Nat. Field 

 Club, the Dublin Nat. Field Club, and the Armagh Nat. Hist, and Phil. 

 Society." It is to be edited by Messrs. George H. Carpenter, B.Sc, of the 

 Science and Art Museum, Dublin; and R. Lloyd Praeger, B.A., Hon. Sec.
