ORDER LERNEADA. 
Genus Lernea. 
L. uncinata, Mull., 
I obtained on the gills of a Gadus callarias , taken at Larne (County 
Antrim) in the summer of 1834. By Dr. Bellingham of Dublin I have 
been favoured with specimens, which he found attached to the gills of 
whiting ( Merlangus vulgaris) brought to the market of the metropolis. 
In 1846, Dr. Drummond found it at Holywood, attached to the base of 
the pectoral fin of a small codling. 
Genus Chondracanthus. 
C. cornutus, Edw. 
To Dr. Bellingham I am indebted for specimens of this, which were 
found by him attached to the gills of sole, purchased in Dublin market 
in May, 1837. 
C. Lopliii, Johnst. Mag. Nat. Hist., vol. ix. p. 81, f. 16. 
The first specimens which I have seen were procured by Dr. Scouler on 
a Lophius piscatorius in Dublin ; more recently they occurred to myself, in 
the pouches of a fish of the same species brought to that city. 
C. gibbosus, Kroyer. 
Taken in the pouches of a Lophius piscatorius in Dublin, December, 
1839 (W. T.), and from pouches of three individuals captured in Belfast 
Bay, November, 1841. M. Edwards brings this species with doubt under 
C. Delarochiana (Cuv. Reg. Anim.), which has been found on the tunny, 
Thynnus vulgaris. C. Lopliii, Johnston, Loudon’s Mag. Nat. Hist., ix. 
81, f. 16, already recorded, seems to me identical with C. gibbosus, 
Kroyer. 
Genus Entomoda. 
E. canicula, Thomp. J. V. 
“ South of Ireland,” J. Y. T. 
E. puella, Thomp. J. Y. 
“ South of Ireland,” J. V. T. 
Genus Brachiella. 
B. salmonea, Templeton. 
“ North of Ireland,” Mr. Templeton. 
Genus Lerneopoda. 
L. galei, Kroyer, 
Was found by its describer on the fin of a Squalus galeus, Linn. ; on 
which species, from Belfast Bay, I likewise obtained my specimen in De- 
cember, 1839 : — it was adherent to the cavity posterior to the vent of the 
fish.
