FOOTNOTES:

[1] Professor Skeat traces "neap" and "nip" to one root. I have myself heard, in the Channel Islands, "the tides are nipped," for the "tides are neap."

[2] "Such names as Crenella decussata, Tellina pusilla, Modiolaria marmorata, Venus verrucosa, Cylichna umbilicata, Utriculus hyalinus, Melampus bidentatus, Rissoa violacea."

[3] See Quart. Jour. of Geolog. Soc. of London, May 1883.

[4] Pronounced Croocholee. The wrong name occurred in the common maps, and from them, being much used by geological writers, will, it is to be feared, continue to be employed.
