tiring tide, where it swims about with the utmost celerity. 
It is not difficult to keep it alive in confinement, Slabber 
having kept one for nine days in the month of August. 
It occurs on the coast of Devonshire, where it was taken 
at Bantham by Dr. Leach, and in South Wales by our- 
selves, on Loughor Marsh, and on a cuttlefish shell on 
the beach in Caswell Bay, and Mr. W. Thompson 
obtained it from Larne. Van Beneden states that he 
only found it in summer; it was, however, taken at 
Carrickfergus, by Mr. Hyndman, on the 17th of March, 
1840. 
M. Hesse has found it burrowing in sand on the coast 
of Britanny. The Rev. A. M. Norman has sent it to us 
from the coast of Northumberland and Durham, and 
Mr. Walker of Brookfield, near Cheshire, writes us that 
“ Corophium longicorne and Eurydice pulchra are the com- 
monest crustacea in the Dee, at least at Bagillt, where 
his observations have been made. ‘‘ The latter,” he says, 
‘is a most savage little beast. If you are a moment 
still in the water while bathing, dozens will fasten upon 
you and nip most unpleasantly. I have had to jump into 
the water again after coming out from bathing and splash 
violently to get rid of the hosts that had stuck to me 
while clinging to the side of the boat preparatory to 
getting in. They continue to bite after you are out of 
the water. I once put a wretched Hyperia which I 
had taken from a Rhyzostoma, into a small bottle with 
two Eurydices; the bloodthirsty little brutes attacked 
him at once like tigers, and soon sucked his shell clean.”
