Abstract: Paper lists 24 species of cirripede from Irish waters, as well as references. Specimens in the collections of the National Museum of Ireland are listed, and particulars of localities and published data are given where available. Specimens from the Royal Irish Academy Expedition of 1886, the Royal Dublin Society Expeditions of 1890-91, and from the south and southwest coasts have been identified and are now published for the first time. A brief indication is given of how representative the collection and previously published records are in relation to the British fauna.
