Crayfish. Astacus fluyiatilis. Local name: 'Crawfish.' Found 

 only in Fell Beck, where it is common, and into which it was 

 accidentally introduced between forty and fifty years ago, by a 

 person named Swales, who, having some in his care when stay- 

 ing over night at Fell Beck, deposited the vessel containing them 

 in the stream. Some escaped, established themselves in the 

 beck, and propagated their species. 



No attention has been paid to any of the other orders of insects, 

 nor to any of the more obscure groups of animal life, so that the 

 investigators of them will find in the dale ample scope for their 

 researches.
