814^. TUDOR, JOHN R., St. Leonards-on-Sea. Mg& tridens, called by 

 the Northmaven (Shetland) fishermen a bee. 



This small sessile-eyed crustacean, first noticed by Leach, resembles in outward appearance a gigantic wood- 

 louse, is about an inch and a half in length, of a light crab-like colour, and with a hard crustaceous covering. It 

 abounds on certain long lanes or channels with a sandy bottom, on which the fishermen never shoot their lines 

 unless in foggy weather when unable to get their bearings. Should they do so all the ling, tusk or cod they may 

 catch are rendered useless by the bees, which, when a fish is hooked, "get on to it in myriads, enter in at the gills 

 (as they evidently cannot pierce the skin) and detour all but skin and bone, so that when the fish is hauled up it 

 looks as plump and round as a live fish, only when they come to open it, it is found to be quite full of bees and 

 nothing else." Skate and halibut they do not seem to attack, probably because these fish keep their gill covers 

 closed when hooked. -'The fishermen have sometimes taken a few of these live bees, put them into a vessel, with 

 salt water, dropped a piece of fish in, and immediately all rushed to it, and clung fast until it was devoured."
