72 CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE FLORA OF BERWICKSHIRE. 



To the Rev. A. Baird of Coldbrandspath, I am indebted for the 

 specimen I possess. 



24. CRANGON vulgaris, Leach, Mai. Brit. tab. 37, B. Common Shrimp, 

 Penn. Brit. Zool. iv. pi. 15. fig. 30. On all our sandy bays. 



25. PANDALUS annulicornis, Leach, Mai. Brit. tab. 40. Red Shrimp of 



the fishermen. Berwick Bay, &c. not uncommon. Remarkable 

 for its bright red colour ; the antennae, which are very long, marked 

 with alternate red and white bands. 



26. PALJEMON Squilla, Leach, Mai. Brit. tab. 43, figs. 11-13. In pools 



in the Bay on the north-east side of Holy Island, &c. Frequent on 

 the coast of Berwickshire. 



27. ASTACUS Gammarus, the Lobster, Penn. Brit. Zool. iv. pi. 10, 

 fig. 21. Taken in great numbers on this coast. The regular time 

 for commencing to take them for the London market is the 1st of 

 December. A full-grown lobster, to use the language of the fishers, 

 must measure four inches and a half in the length of the barrel ; they 

 then bring from ten to fourteen shillings a-score ; if below that size, 

 they bring only half price. Of late years, the numbers taken annual- 

 ly have very much decreased, owing to the increase of the fishery. 



28. As-TACUsfluviatilis, the Crawfish, Penn. Brit. Zool. pi. 15, fig. 27. 



In the rivulets to the south of Berwick Bay, this species is not un- 

 common. Dr Johnston, however, has not met with it in Berwick- 

 shire.

1. ADDITIONAL SPECIES. 



SPHAGNUM squarrosum. In peat bogs on Coldingham Moor. Dr John- 

 ston. 



PELTIDEA aphthosa. On rocks west from Longformacus Manse, spa- 

 ringly, Mr Thomas Brown. 



AGARIC us fragrans, With. Bot. Arrang. iv. 161. Anton's-hill and Hir- 

 sel Woods, in October and November, not uncommon, Miss E. 

 Bell. 



AGARICUS roseus, With. Bot. Arrang. iv. 258. Hirsel Woods, Miss 

 Hunter and Miss E. Bell. 



CANTHARELLUS l&vis, Bot. Gall. ii. 797. Parasitical on Hypnum ruta- 

 bulum, Miss Hunter. Description. Fungus sessile, of a uniform 

 white colour, thin and membranous, cuped, the disk somewhat un- 

 even, the margin entire, even or sinuous ; hymenium not veined, 

 roughish. The largest specimens are fully three-tenths in diame- 

 ter. When old, the disk becomes often nearly plane. On drying, 

 the plant shrivels up, so that it can scarcely be recognised, but its 

 original appearance is restored by immersion in water.
