The following is a list of animals of certain groups found in the neighbourhood of Folkestone, kindly supplied to me by Mr. Edward Horsnaill of that place ; but in some cases I have altered his names so as to correspond with those adopted in this series. ANNELIDA Apod.4 Tristoma molae. On a short sunfish caught off Folkestone Pontobdella muricata. Whitstahle Chajtapoda Sabellaria alveolata. St. Margaret's Bay and Kingsdown, between Dover and Deal Terebella. Common between tide marks Serpula triquetra. Common between tide marks Spirorbis. Common on sea weeds Arenicola. In deep sand Aphrodita aculeata. Common on mud bot- tom. Often very plentiful on Dungeness Beach Polynoe sp. Common between tide marks Sabella. A large species is very common at Whitstahle. Probably S. pavonina (Sav.) MOLLUSCA NUDIBRANCHIATA Eolis papillosa (Linn.). Fairly common under stones between tide marks Facelina coronata (Forbes and Goodsir). Be- tween tide marks in summer Tritonia hombergi (Cuvier). Dymchurch. Rare Archidoris tuberculata (Bergh.). Not very un- common in the Laminarian 2^ne Lamelledoris bilamellata (Linn.).

Common everywhere on the coast Ophiothrix fragilis (O. F. Muller). Common in deep water round the coast — neglecta. Very plentiful between tide marks near Dover Ophiura ciliaris (Linn.). Common at Whitstahle between tide marks One or two unidentified species In addition to the above the British Association Handbook for Dover gives as found on the Kentish coast Astrophyton scutatum, Amphidotus cordatus, Doto coronata, Aplysia punctata and Sigartia minata 96
