Abstract: A short report of various strandings and captures of marine fauna from around the Irish coast. Two coelenterates (cnidarians), Velella sp. and Rhizostoma octopus are discussed a great deal and recorded from the Dingle Bay area. The occurrence of the gastropod Charonia lampas is also discussed, as are some abnormal flatfishes displaying ambicolouration and reversal.
