72 CONTRIBUTION TO THE FLORA OF BERWICKSHIRE. 



25. Pandalus annidicornis, Leach, Mai. Brit. tab. 40. Eed Shrimp of 

 the fishermen. Berwick ]iay, &c. not uncommon. Remarkable 

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

 with alternate red and white bands. 



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

 in the Bay on the north-east side of Holy Island, «S:c. Frequent 

 on the coast of Berwickshire. 



27. AsTAcus Gammanis, 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 ton to fourteen shillings a-score ; if 

 below that size, they bring only half price. Of late years, the 

 numbers taken annually have very much decreased, owing to the 

 increase of the fishery. 



28. AsTACvs ^fluviatilis, the Cra^^-fish, Pom. Brit. Zool. pi. 15, fig. 27. 

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

 uncommon. Dr Johnston, however, has not met with it in Ber- 

 wickshire.

Cantharellus Imvis, Bot. Gall. ii. 797. Parasitical on Hgpnum ruta- 

 huluni, Miss Hunter. Description. Pungus sessile, of a uniform 

 white colour, thin and membranous, cupped, the disk somewhat 

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

 veined, roughish. The largest specimens are fully three-tenths 

 in diameter. 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.
