The Irish Natm'alist. August-September, 
From the figure and description of IMeyer and Mobius it 
would appear, however, that the Kiel Bay Embletonia 
belongs to a different species, since the head appendages are 
quite distinct in form from those of E. pallida as figured by 
Hancock (he. cit.) 
Amphorina caerulea (Montagu). 
Eolis caerulea. 
Rare. Two specimens dredged in 2 f. in ]\Ialahide River, 
one in August, 1907, the other in Jul}', 1908: Colgan, '08 and 
'09. One in 13 f. off Skerries, August, iQii, N.C. 
A. aurantiaca (Aid. and Hanc). 
Eolis aurantiaca. 
Rare. A single specimen 6 mm. long taken on the sponge 
Halichondria panicea in about 2 f., IMalahide River, Jure, 
1908 : Colgan, '09. This specimen was quite as highly 
coloured as that figured by Hancock in the Monograph, 
and stood out a brilliant orange red from the yellow sponge 
to which it clung. In only two minor points did it differ 
from Hancock's plate : the rhinophores were more con- 
spicuously wrmkled, and the tips of the papillae were white 
not orange', as has been noticed in specimens taken in 
Valentia Harbour, at Plymouth, and in the Isle of Man 
(Beaumont, 1900, p. 836). The animal, which lived in 
captivity for 5 days, was rather sluggish. It has been taken 
in the Irish Sea off the Dubhn coast, but outside of the 3 
mile limit in from 19 to 27 f., 1907 : Farran, '09. 
Galvina exigua (Aid. and Hanc). 
• • Eolis exigua. 
Not infrequent ; usually between tide-marks. Kings- 
town Harbour : Haddon, '86. One specimen in a rock pool 
Rush Harbour : Duerden, '94. Found associated with 
Tergipes despectus on Obelia dichotoma inthe channel between 
Shennicks Island and the mainland, July-August, 1910-14, 
80 specimens taken, 2 to 12 in a gathering : N.C. 
All of the mature Skerries indi\'icluals agreed perfecth' 
in colour and in general form with Hancock's plate in the
