A Creuice, or Crayfish [see l. 618]; (By some Authors, but not so properly, the Crab-fish is also tearmed so.) _Escrevisse de mer._ A Lobster; or, (more properly) a Sea-Creuice. Cotgrave. A _Crevice_, or a _Crefish_, or as some write it, a _Crevis Fish_, are in all respects the same in form, and are a Species of the Lobster, but of a lesser size, and the head is set more into the body of the _Crevice_ than in the _Lobster_. Some call this a Ganwell. R. Holme, p. 338, col. 1, § xxx.] [Footnote 170: No doubt the intestinal tract, running along the middle of the body and tail. Dr Günther. Of Crevisses and Shrimps, Muffett says, p. 177, they “give also a kind of exercise for such as be weak: for head and brest must first be divided from their bodies; then each of them must be dis scaled, and clean picked with much pidling; then the long gut lying along the back of the Crevisse is to be voided.”] [Footnote 171: slice by slice.] [Footnote 172: The fresh-water crayfish is beautiful eating, Dr Günther says.] [Footnote 173: Iolle of a fysshe, _teste_.

Dr G. could suggest nothing for _almond_, but on looking at the drawing of the male Whelk (_Buccinum undatum_) creeping, in the Penny Cyclopædia, v. 9, p. 454, col. 2 (art. Entomostomata), it is quite clear that the _almond_ must mean the animal’s horny, oval _operculum_ on its hinder part. ‘Most spiral shells have an _operculum_, or lid, with which to close the aperture when they withdraw for shelter. It is developed on a particular lobe at the posterior part of the foot, and consists of horny layers sometimes hardened with shelly matter.’ _Woodward’s Mollusca_, p. 47.] [Footnote 176: That part of the integument of mollusca which contains the viscera and secretes the shell, is termed the _mantle_.
