48 NOTES ON CERTAIN FISHES, ETC., 



Cancellus Turbinum et neritis" Barnard the Hermite 

 of Rondeletius a kind of crab or astacus liuing in a 

 forsaken wilk or nerites. 



echinus echinometrites'' sea hedghogge whose neat 

 shells are comon on the shoare the fish aliue often 

 taken [with crossed out] by the dragges among the 

 oysters. 



[This and the next paragraph on fol. 33 verso.] 



Balani** a smaller sort of vniualue growing comonly in 

 clusters, the smaller kinds thereof to bee found oftimes 

 upon oysters wilks & lobsters. 



Concha anatifera or Ansifera or Barnicleshell whereof 

 about 4 yeares past were found upon the shoare no 

 small number by yarmouth hanging by slender strings of 

 a kind of Alga vnto seuerall splinters or [clefts crossed out] 

 cleauings of firre boards vnto wch they were seuerally 

 fastned & hanged like ropes of onyons : their shell flat 

 & of a peculiar forme differing from other shelles, this 

 being of four diuisions. containing a snlall imperfect 

 animal at the lower part diuided into many shootes or 

 streames wch prepossed [imag crossed out] spectators 



common univ.ilve, they were ever taken out of their shells with a pin or 

 needle. Dentalia are mentioned on two other occasions as of doubtful 

 occurrence and Dentalium entalis has slight claim to be a native of 

 Norfolk ; the only recorded specimen I know of was picked up in 1890 by 

 Mr. Mayiield, from the drift on the beach between Wells and Holkham. 



'* Hermit Crabs are here referred to, the larger, Pagurus bernhardus, 

 found very frequently inhabiting the shells of the Whelk, and a smaller 

 species which takes up its abode in those of a Trochus. 



^ Dead Echini are very common on the sea-shore, and many living ones 

 are dredged by the shrimpers. Echinus sphiera is the most common on 

 the Norfolk coast ; E. miliaris, a small species, is also very abundant 

 about Cromer. 



^ The species of Cirripeds referred to are probably the common Acorn 

 Barnacle (Balanus porcatus) and the Goose Barnacle (Lefias anatifera), the 

 latter occasionally found on ships' bottoms and drift-wood, probably carried 

 by favourable currents from warmer seas than our own.
