member of this iuteresting class of the iiou-veitebrate 
Vertebrata" had been found in the Britannic area, though the 
tornaria larva has been met with not infrequently. The 
species is a new one — Dolichoolossus ruber — and a full account 
of it, with figures, will be published shortly. 
Some very important discoveries among the Fishes are re- 
corded by Messrs. E- W. ly. Holt and L- W. Byrne. ^ To their 
previous article on the British and Irish Gobies^ they now add 
description and figures of the Giant Goby {Gobius capito^ 
C. and V.) which occurs in the western English Channel, but 
has not )^et been found in Irish waters. A short note, with 
figures, deals w4th the discovery of Dentex vulgaris, Cuv. in 
Dingle Bay, a widespread species thus added to the Irish 
marine fauna. The descriptions, with beautiful drawings by 
Miss Woodward, of the British and Irish species of Solea,will 
be of value to the geceral marine zoologist. Of the six species 
dealt with in this paper, four occur in Irish waters, and one 
— 6*. profundicola, Vaillant — should be of especial interest to 
Irish naturalists, since " of twent3'-one specimens known to 
science all but five have been taken off the south-west of 
Ireland." 
In the " First Report on the Fishes of the Irish Atlantic 
slope," issued during the present year, no fewer than twenty- 
seven species new to the British and Irish area are recorded. 
These are Centrophorzts ringens (Boc. and Cap.), Spi^iax ?iiger, 
Bon., Chimaera viirabilis, Q^oW^it, A lepocephalus rostratzis, Risso, 
A. Giardi, Koehler, Conocara viacroptera (Vaillant), Bathylagus 
atla7iticuSy Gunther, (hitherto known only from the South 
Atlantic), Bathytroctes rostrahis, Gunther, Xenodermichthys 
socialis, Vaillant, Gonostoma niicrodon, Gunther, G. bathy- 
philum, Gunther, Synaphobranchus pinnatus (Gronow) (= Net-
