THE NORWAY LOBSTER.

[To THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR.} SIR,—Referring to Mr. Godwin Austen's statement quoted on p. 288 in last week's Spectator that the Norway lobster "has not been recorded from the western coasts of France," I may say that the largest example I ever saw (and I have seen scores trawled between the Isle of Man and Ireland) was lying on the shore at Biarritz.—I am, Sir, &c., ALFRED 0. WALKER, F.L.S., &c.
