MAEINE BIOLOGICAL STATION AT PORT ERIN. 39 



the list of species recorded in British waters. Over 350 species 

 and varieties have been identified. 



" Station 20, ' Between Ru Ruag and Carr Point 

 (off Gairloch), 20 fathoms,' has yielded remarkable quantities 

 of fine specimens of Cornuspira foliacea (Philippi) and Jaculella 

 acuta and obtusa, Brady, and of the rare Ammodiscus charoides 

 (Jones and Parker). 



" Several species have occurred which will require very 

 careful diagnosis, and several species new to Science may be 

 expected. Perhaps the most interesting discovery has been 

 that of Spiroloculina acutimargo, Brady, var. concava, Wiesner 

 MS., of which the only hitherto recorded specimens have 

 been sent us by the author from Eiland Porno in the Adriatic 

 (195 fathoms) and which we have found at Station 4 (Loch 

 Sunart, 12 fathoms). 



" The last Station dredged by Professor Herdman was 

 ' off Bradda, Isle of Man, 20 fathoms,' of which, at his request, 

 we append a preliminary list of the species identified up to date. 



" Station 23. — Material. — 1 lb. 10 oz. of muddy shell and 

 algal debris with large shells of bivalve Mollusca. Residue
