Abstract: Paper presents results of an April 1992 survey of marine Mollusca in the Dingle Peninsula, Co. Kerry and surrounding coastline. Sixty-four shore sites and one dive site were sampled during the survey, which covered a wide range of habitats present in the area. Survey and sample preservation methods are outlined. A total of 191 species of mollusc were recorded (138 living). The new records for Sea Area 37 are listed in this review. The paper gives a full list of species of Mollusca found in the area.
