On the Occurrence of Aphroceras (Leucandra) cliarensis Stephens near Plymouth

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  11 May 2009

Extract

In July, 1912, a paper was published in the Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy (Vol. XXXI) on the Marine Porifera of Clare Island, by Miss Jane Stephens, in which the authoress gives an excellent account of a new species of Calcareous Sponge, Leucandra cliarensis. In April of the same year I happened to be working at the Marine Laboratory at Plymouth, and my friend Mr. Orton brought me several specimens of a very pretty little calcareous sponge just collected by him at Wembury Bay. I was too much occupied with other work to examine these carefully at the time, but simply preserved them in spirit. Recently I have examined them in detail, and find, curiously enough, that they belong to the species described by Miss Stephens from Clare Island on the west coast of Ireland.
