STALK-EYED CRUSTACEA OF GREAT YARMOUTH. 183 
taken on Breydon and in the river are often found packed with 
them. Eels and Flounders are partial to them also. Mr. Geldart 
informs me that at Cromer there are sometimes very highly 
coloured specimens with blue and yellow tints. He has also 
seen them there measuring as much as six or seven inches across 
the larger diameter of the shell. 
Pinnotheres veterum. Pea Crab. C.—Found in locally-taken 
Mussels, and in Oysters. I discovered a very large one in an 
American Oyster; it had a narrow escape. Have found this 
species in the Sole. 
Corystes cassivelaunus. Masked Crab. R.—The first speci- 
men I met with was from the maw of a Haddock caught off the 
Norfolk coast. It wasa female. Found a fine male example in 
a freshly-taken Cod on Oct. 25th, 1889. Two or three on the 
shore since that date, both male and female. 
Pagurus Bernhardus. Soldier Crab. C.—A very frequent 
take both in shrimp and draw-nets in the summer months. I 
have seen Pagurus frequenting all kinds of shells, but have never 
yet been able to determine any other of the seven reputed British 
‘species. Cods taken off the coast are frequently full of shell-less 
Soldier Crabs. I am of opinion the shell is thrown up again as 
soon as the tenant is dead and unattached. I never yet found 
Whelk-shells in a Cod-fish, which appears to me to be rather 
strange. Have met with many of this species stranded on the 
beach, but never saw one make any attempt to reach the water 
again, if only a few feet separated them. 
Galathea squamifera. Montagu’s Plated Lobster. F’.—Known 
locally as ‘“‘ Philadelphias,” this species is occasionally taken with 
Shrimps. Becomes more abundant further northward of the 
county. 
Porcellana longicornis. Porcelain Crab. R.—Somewhat rare, 
although common at Cromer. Have met with examples occa- 
sionally washed up on the north beach. 
[Palinuris vulgaris. Spiny Lobster. (?).—Have occasionally 
seen examples of this crustacean both at Yarmouth and Lowestoft. 
Have not known it actually taken locally, although brought in by 
local smacks. Those exhibited were probably from the west 
coast of Eingland.] 
Homarus vulgaris. Lobster. R.—In the immediate locality
