I have taken the following excursions in Ireland. (I only 

 mention those, or those parts of excursions, where I collected 

 material for Ostracoda) : — 



1858. Bantry and Glengarriff. 



1868. Belfast and Strangford I^ough. 



1870. Valentia, dredging in company with my friend, Mr. 



Kdward Waller, in Dr. Gwyn Jeffreys' yacht ''Osprey." 



Dr. Jeffreys vv^as unable to be with us. 

 1874. Westport and Roundstone, in company with my friend, 



Dr. D. Robertson. 

 1900. Clifden and Connemara, and subsequently counties Clare 



and Monaghan, in company with ni}^ friend, Mr. W. F. 



de Vismes Kane. 



In 1885, with the very kind help of a gentleman in the 

 neighbourhood, I employed two men for a week to use the 

 townet and dredge in I^ough Neagh. My chief object was, if 

 possible to find Mysis relida, which I had sought for in vain 

 in some of the largest lakes of Scotland. Amidst an enormous 

 amount of plankton material was a single specimen which 

 proved the presence of that Mysis in Ireland. It has since been 

 taken in the same lough in abundance by Mr, Kane, and others, 

 and also in lyough Krne. 



The present catalogue gives a larger number of marine 

 Ostracoda than are found on the coasts of either England 

 or Scotland. The deep water off the west of Ireland affords 

 that country great advantages, which must increase more and 

 more as the investigation of its deep-sea fauna is carried on 

 jnore thoroughly.
