Little Crabs are to be found everywhere along the sea-shore—­not the monsters of the fishmonger’s shop, but small greenish-brownish Crabs. ; They live in the weed of the rock-pools, and in the wet sand.  These are the Shore Crabs; the large Edible Crabs are a different kind, and live mostly in deep water.
