Abstract
SINCE February 1947, I have had the opportunity of making an intensive search for Folliculinids at Plymouth, where I found four species, and at Culler-coats where five species were discovered. Except for Folliculina (Folliculinopsis?) ampulla, no record of Folliculinid species existed at these two marine laboratories. Besides the six species already recorded by me for Great Britain1, a seventh species, Folliculinopsis (Metafolliculina) andrewsi (Hadzi), found by me both at Plymouth and at Cullercoats, should now be added to the list of British species.
