Abstract: Paper reports on a survey of the inshore plankton of the Dalkey, Co. Dublin area between January and July 1959. Method of collection, sorting, and preparation are described, and a brief historical account of the work already carried out in Ireland, mainly on pelagic copepods, is included. Thirty-three species of copepod are recorded, and observations on seasonal appearance and the percentage expression, in the case of Calanoida, are given for each of the species.
