With a letter dated from Glandore House (County Cork), August 23rd, 
1844, Professor Allman sent me a small phial containing specimens of this 
Actceon , remarking that he had just taken it there in considerable num- 
bers. He subsequently, at the meeting of the British Association at 
York, gave an admirable account of the anatomy of the species, illustrated 
by drawings of remarkable beauty, executed by his sister, Miss Allman. 
About the same time the Rev. Mr. Landsborough informed me that he 
had taken this species on the coast of Arran, Firth of Clyde. 
ORDER PULMONIFERA. INOPERCULATA. 
On the subject of the Conchology of Ireland, three Catalogues were 
published within a comparatively short period ; Dr. Turton’s in July, 1816, 
in the Dublin Examiner, or Monthly Miscellany of Science, Literature, 
and Art ; Capt. Brown’s, in the second volume of the Wernerian Memoirs 
in 1818 ; and in this same year a third appeared in the Appendix to Walsh 
andWhitelaw’s History of Dublin, from the pen of M. J. O’Kelly, Esq., of 
that city. The species of land and fresh-water Mollusca enumerated in 
these three Catalogues are much the same, and about fifty in number. In 
the subsequent works of Brown and Turton a few more species were added. 
To Bryce’s Tables of Simple Minerals, Rocks, and Shells, found in three 
of the northern counties, published in 1831, Mr. Hyndman contributed 
two species hitherto unnoticed. In the London and Edinburgh Philoso- 
phical Magazine for 1834 (p. 300), about thirty additional species were 
made known by myself ; in a paper entitled Additions to the Fauna of 
Ireland, published in the Annals for last March, I noticed a few more ; 
and in the present communication there are two species previously unre- 
corded. I shall here, for the sake of brevity, avoid entering into detail 
respecting any of the species thus alluded to, but shall correct in its 
proper place in the following paper, in so far as my information extends, 
every error, either of others or of my own. 
The order in which the genera and species appear in Mr. Gray’s edition 
of Turton’s Manual of the Land and Fresh-water Shells of the British 
Islands is adopted.
