beaches. Inhabits below low-watermark. Red Bay, Co. Antrim, W. T. ; 
Dundalk Bay, Mr. Hyndman ; Killery Bay, dredged from a few fathoms 
by our party, in 1840. Ardmore, Mrs. Mackesy. 
P. vespertina, Turt. 
Bantry Bay, Brown. Portmarnock, Turt., rare. From Larne Lough, 
Co. Antrim, a specimen has been sent me. 
I have not noted any specimens from the Dublin or other eastern coast, 
as seen in collections or obtained there ; hence Portmarnock remains on 
Turton’s authority only. Youghal, Bantry Bay, Dr. Ball, to whom it is 
unknown as a Dublin species. One specimen found in Cork Harbour, 
Mr. Humphreys. Galway coast, Professor W. H. Harvey. Birterbuy 
Bay, Dr. Farran. 
Genus Solen. 
S. vagina , Linn. 
Dublin coast, Br. Turt. This species seems chiefly to be met with on 
the most extensive sandy beaches. A specimen has been given me as 
from Larne Lough. 
S. siliqua, Linn. 
Most common of the genus on our coast generally. 
S. ensis, Linn. 
Dublin coast, common, Br. Turt. Common on sandy coasts. Bally- 
sodare, Mrs. Hancock. Clew and Clifden Bays, W. T. In abundance at 
Birterbuy Bay, where S. siliqua is rare, Dr. Farran. 
S. pellucidus, Penn. 
Dublin coast, Turt. Catal. Dredged chiefly from about 3 to 6 fathoms, 
on sandy ground in Belfast and Strangford Loughs, H. and T. Dundalk 
Bay, Mr. Hyndman. Not a common species. 
Mag 10^A, 1847. — Solen pellucidus .- — Two plaice bought in Belfast 
market to-day had their stomachs wholly v filled with broken remains of 
this shell. 
S. legumen, Linn. 
Dublin Bay, Br. Turt. (Irish Catalogues.) “Plentiful on the East 
coast from Cork to Belfast,” Brown’s Illust. p. 113, 2nd edit. This re- 
mark gives quite too extensive an idea of its distribution. Specimens 
from the extensive sandy coasts of Louth and Dublin only have come 
under my notice ; if the species be found so far North as Down, it must 
be only on the more southern part of it. 
Bantry Bay, Mr. Humphreys, &c. 
S. antiquatus, Pult. 
Portmarnock, Br. Turt. Red Bay and Larne Lough, Co. Antrim — 
Strangford Lough, 8 — 10 fathoms, soft sand, W. T.

S. strigilatus, Turt. 
“ Found at Howth, by Mr. Tardy,” Turt. C. D. Bantry Bay, Dr. Ball.
