Abstract: Foraminifera were collected in Dublin Bay from shore gathering and from dredging. Further collections were made by dredging from Ireland's Eye to Bray Head and seaward to the Kish and the Bray Banks. Additional dredgings were made off the Mourne Mountains, Co. Down, and off the Isle of Man. A list of species is presented which includes species new to Ireland, new to Britain and new to science. One hundred and twenty-four species and varieties were collected.
