noticed in Templeton’s catalogue as having been found by Mr. Grimshaw, 
from whom I learn that the A. glacialis of Flem. Brit. Anim. ( Stell . rubens , 
Forbes) is the species alluded to, and not the present one. 
Common in deep water at Youghal, Dr. Ball, in whose collection is 
one 15 inches in diameter; many naticce found in them. Occurs on the 
South-West coast of Cork abundantly, chiefly on a rocky bottom, Dr. 
Allman. [A large-sized specimen taken in 3 feet water at Ardrossan, sent 
me by Major Martin.] One dredged in Clifden Bay, 4 to 10 fathoms, 1840. 
Roundstone, by Mr. M‘Calla. Glendore, Co. Cork, Dr. Allman. Common 
species at Youghal, according to Dr. Ball, and eats the bait off the long 
lines, to the great annoyance of the fishermen. Cyprcece have been 
found in it by Miss M. Ball. Taken on South-West coast of Cork by Dr. 
Allman. “ Cork Harbour, Mr. Humphreys. Lahinch, County Clare, be- 
tween tide-marks, and abundant among rocks, W. T. Dredged at Killery, 
1840, and Bundoran, W. T. 
U. violacea , Mull. 
Northern, eastern, and southern coasts (Dr. Ball). The typical forms of 
U. violacea and U. rubens are very distinct in appearance, yet, through their 
varieties, they sometimes approach so nearly as to render the propriety 
of their separation as species somewhat doubtful. 
Taken on South-West coast of Cork, by Dr. Allman ; many dredged at 
Killery, 1840. Dublin coast, Mr. Hassall ; cast ashore in Belfast Bay, 
like JJ. rubens and 8. papposa. 
U. rubens, Linn. 
Common from 30 fathoms to a few feet. 
U. hispida, Penn. 
Coast of Down, W. T. Roundstone, Mr. M‘Calla. 
Genus Cribella. 
C. oculata, Penn. 
North of Ireland. “ Found about Dublin and Youghal,” Dr. Ball, who 
says it is purple when recent.* Dredged in Clew Bay, 3 to 10 fathoms, 
1840, W. T. 
Roundstone, Mr. M‘Calla. 
C. rosea , Mull. 
In Dr. Ball’s collection I have seen two specimens of this star-fish, 
which is an addition to the British Fauna ; they were obtained in 1818 
at the Nymph Bank, off the southern coast. One specimen, which is per- 
fect, is 4 inches across ; the arms of the other, though much injured, are 
each 5 inches in length. The species is admirably represented in the 
Zoologia Danica. 
Genus Solaster. 
8. endeca, Linn. 
North of Ireland, Belfast Bay, W. T. Dublin and Youghal, specimens 
9 inches in diameter in Dr. Ball’s collection. Miss M. Ball has found Na- 
tica intricata in it. 
* I obtained purple, bright yellow, bright scarlet, and variegated specimens 
this year, 1854, at Dalkey. R. Ball.
