Histriobdella homari is a polychaete annelid belonging to the Order Eunicida and Family Histriobdellidae. Histriobdella homari is normally found in the gill chambers or among the eggs of the lobster Homarus vulgaris from the English Channel (Roscoff) and in the southwestern part of the North Sea (George & Hartmann-Schroder, 1985). Two independent sightings of H. homari living on the pleopods of Nephrops norvegicus from the Irish Sea and Clyde Sea area are reported.

The author commences his paper by remarking that great similarity of outline pervades the western shores of Ireland, Scotland and Norway, and then observes that the great Atlantic flood-tide wave, having traversed the shores of the former countries, strikes with great fury the Norwegian coast between the Lafoden Isles and Stadland, one portion proceeding to the north, while the other is deflected to the south, which last has scooped out along the coast, as far as the Sleeve at the mouth of the Baltic, a long channel from 100 to 200 fathoms in depth, almost close in shore, and varying from 50 to 100 miles in width. After describing his method of contouring and colouring the Admiralty chart of the North Sea, he traces the course of the tide-wave among the Orkney and Shetland Islands along the eastern shores of Scotland and England to the Straits of Dover, and along the western shores of Norway, Denmark and the Netherlands, to the same point.

Along the North Sea eoast of Germany there are two large areas where land reclamation work in the tidal flats is being carried out. One is on the coast of Schleswig- Holstem and the other in Ostfriesland, on the coast and along the estuary of the river Ems near the border with the Netherlands. Conditions and working methods for land reclamation in tidal flats as well as the development of new groin constructions on the Ostfriesian coast are described below.

Over Time

This chapter tells the story of how English got to be the weird way it is, which begins with the Germanic languages and the barbarians who spoke them. During the 5th century, an assortment of them poured across the North Sea, from what is today Denmark, the Netherlands, and Northern Germany, and conquered most of England. After about a century of the Germanic tribes taking over and settling in, the Romans returned. This time it was not soldiers but missionaries who arrived. The monks who came to convert the island to Christianity brought their Latin language with them, and they also brought the Latin alphabet. They set about translating religious texts into the language of the people they encountered, a language that by this time had coalesced into something that was Old English. However, there is another group of barbarians to blame: the Vikings. Their language was similar enough to Old English that they could communicate with the Anglo-Saxons without too much difficulty, and over time their own way of speaking mixed into the surrounding language, leaving vocabulary and expressions behind that do not quite fit the rest of the pattern at the old Germanic layer.
