pure sand in each case -Thompson. Hyndman records dead shells only, 
which appear to he of frequent occurrence in the neighbourhood of t e 
Turbot Bant. Dickie dredged a few living examples off the entrance to 
Strangford Lough, in 12-15 fathoms, and dead specimens inside the loug . 
Off Bangor, in 8 fathoms, living— Mr. Swanston. 
Uulima disforta, Deshayes. 
Bundoran, Mrs. Hancock-Thompson. Dead shells are not unfrequent on 
the Turbot Bank, according to Hyndman. 
mr. graeills. Dredged by Hyndman on the Turbot Bank, and by Dickie in 
12-15 fathoms outside Strangford Lough. 
rsulima suoulata, Donovan. 
Stated by Thompson to have been obtained at Bundoran, Co. Donegal, and 
Dundrum, Co. Down, but there is no doubt that E. bihneata is the species 
intended.] 
Sulima Mlineata, Alder. 
“ Dredged from a sandy bottom, 8-10 fathoms, off Dundrum, Co. Down, 
Mr. Hyndman and W.T. ; a specimen at Bundoran, Mr. Warren -Tbomp-

man. Living, very rare, in 7-20 fathoms, in Strangford Lough, and dead m 
the channel adjoining —Dickie. 
Watica Islandica, Ginelin. 
Dead; a single young specimen by Mr. Jeffreys "-Hyndman 1859 
Report (sub N. helicoides). The locality is not given, but was probably the 
Turbot Bank. This specimen may have been a quaternary fossil. It is 
northern species, which in Britain is taken chiefly on the northeast coaste, 
though it has been found at Cork. It is widely distributed m post-glacial 
beds.

A shell from the Turbot Bank is in Thompson’s collection m the Belfast 
Museum. Any specimens occurring there are not recent, hut relics o t e 
glacial epoch; Jeffreys records it also as dredged on ‘he Turbot Bauk and 
enters it as a fossil. Its present habitat in Britain is limited to rather deep 
water off the northeast coasts of England and Scotland.] 
^^Stongford Lough and the channel adjoining are the only localities ^ m 
which this species has been obtained in the North of Ireland. eie ic ie 
dredged it on several occasions, but only in a dead state, m depths varying 
from 10 to 25 fathoms; specimens from the same locality are m Thompson s 
collection in the Belfast Museum. 
Watica catena, Da Costa. -Fc+hrms 
One of our commoner shells, living chiefly in sandy bays at a few fathoms 
depth. “ Living, common, 6-8 fathoms, from Bangor to Donaghauee -Mr.
