Abstract: Paper presents data on free living Turbellaria collected in the Clare Island area, namely the shores of Clare Island, Clew Bay, Blacksod Bay, and Ballynakill Harbour. Forty-five saltwater species were found, 29 of which were new Irish records, and five were new British records. A table of the species, with place of collection, is presented. A systematic list of the species describes their habitat, and notes records outside of the UK and Ireland.
