126 HISTORY OF BRITISH CRUSTACEA. 



The British species, according to Dr. Leach,* is very 

 abundant at Yarmouth, where it is used as an article of 

 food, and is so much esteemed there for the table, as to 

 afford constant employment during the summer season to 

 several fishermen, who take it in abundance at a consider- 

 able distance from the shore, and name it from that circum- 

 stance the Sea Shrimp. 



Pandalus annulicornis, Leach. Ringed-horned Prawn. 

 — Beak as long as the carapace, front half without teeth, 

 except a small one near the tip. Three last pair of legs 

 armed with spines. 



First found by Professor Fleming in Shetland and in St. 

 Andrew's Bay, coast of Devon, and Coast of Norfolk at 

 Yarmouth; Irish coast. The Rev. Alfred Norman has 

 found it at Clevedon in Somersetshire, and in Lamlash 

 Bay in the Isle of Arran. 



Mr. Gossef remarks that the teeth on the upper edge of 

 the beak are triangular spines articulated to the edges j with 

 a fine needle they may be moved to and fro on their articu- 

 lated bases.
