HISTORY OF BRITISH CRUSTACEA. 
The British species, according to Dr. Leach, ^ is very 
abundant at Yarmouth, where it is used as an article of 
food, and is so much esteemed there for the table, as to 
alford constant employment during the summer season to 
several fishermen, who take it in abundance at a consider- 
able distance from the shore, and name it from that circum- 
stance the Sea Shrimp. 
Pandalus annulicornis, Leach. Ringed-horned Prawn . 
— Beak as long as the carapace, front half without teeth, 
except a small one near the tip. Three last pair of legs 
armed with spines. 
Pirst found by Professor Pleming in Shetland and in St. 
Andrew's Bay, coast of Devon, and Coast of Norfolk at 
Yarmouth; Irish coast. The Bev. Alfred Norman has 
found it at Clevedon in Somersetshire, and in Lamlash 
Bay in the Isle of Arran. 
Mr. Gossef remarks that the teeth on the upper edge of 
the beak are triangular spines articulated to the edges ; with 
a fine needle they may be moved to and fro on their articu- 
lated bases.
