3C1 Canon A, M. Norman on the 



" I am constantly consulted respecting some substitute for 

 * Clierve ' : crabs and sliiiinps pounded in a mortar and 

 salted; ray-fish boiled with sug-av; bread soaked in shrimp 

 soup; cabbage boiled in fat, &c., &c. ; but ' Cherv(^ ' still 

 holds its own. I have often been astonished when sitting on 

 a jetty fishing for Lahrus &c., and not a mullet in sight for 

 hours; then down comes a ' muUeter,' who tlirow\s in a spoon- 

 ful of ' Cherv^,' and in a minute one or two dark forms come 

 into the field, then more and more, and their silvery sides 

 Hash as they turn about and suck up the ' Cherve.' " 



Mr. Sinel kindly sent me a bottle of "Cherve" as taken 

 from the net. Small pieces of seaweed were mixed with the 

 animals. Both in numbers and in balk Macromysis flexaosa 

 predominated, but Schistomijsis spiritas was present in large 

 numbers, together with a few Siriella armata. No doubt the 

 admixture of species would vary in different spots and in 

 different seasons. That the Mysidea were used as bait was 

 quite a new fact to me, as it probably will be to other 

 curcinologists.
