A COENISH FAXTlfA. 
“ I have heard the fishermen of Gorran Haven say that they 
have seen in the summer, frequently, the old lobsters with their 
young ones around them ; some of the young have been noticed 
as six inches long. One man noticed the old lobster with her 
head jjeeping out from under a rock, the young ones playing 
around her ; she appeared to rattle her claws on the ajiproach of 
the fisherman, and herself and young took shelter under the 
rock; this rattling, no doubt, was to give the alarm. I have 
hoard this from several, some very old men, who all speak to this 
without concert, and as a matter of course ; and they are men I 
can readily believe.” 
Genus, Ceangon, — Fair. 
“ Carapace somewhat depressed, with only the rudiment of a 
rostrum ; antennae inserted on about the same transverse line, on 
the outer side a large scale. The claw legs expanded, the move- 
able finger opposed to a slight rudiment of a process.” (Sub- 
chelate).

“ Common in harbours on a sandy bottom, in which it buiies 
itself, an operation performed by the aid of the hinder legs, but 
it heaps the loose sand on itself by the action of the antennco.” 
Ceangon spinosus.^ — Leach; Bell, p. 261. 
Crangon cataphractus. — Edwards, Hist, des Crust., t. ii, p. 243 ; 
Couch, Cornish Eauna, p. 79. 
Pontophilus spinosus. — Leach, Malac., pi. xxxvii a. 
One specimen only was obtained by Mr. Couch, and that came 
from the stomach of a fish taken at a depth of from 12 to 15 
fathoms. We have taken it frequently among the Zoophites 
from six to sixteen fathoms of water. 
Ceangon boebas — Arctic Shrimp. — Phipps. 
Crangon fasciatus. — Risso, Crust, de Mice, t. Hi, fo. p. 83 ;

259. 
Crangon sculptus.— Stalk-Eyed Crust., p. 263. 
There can bo little doubt but that C fasciatus and C. sculptus are 
identical with C. horeas of Philips. I have compared the animals 
with the description and figures of the respective authors, and
