BEHAVIOUR 97 



The new spiny lobsters lived peaceably with the hermits, even 

 during periods of food scarcity. One wonders how the lobsters first 

 found out about the abdomen of hermits. Did one find a hermit 

 in the process of changing shells, or did it start by dragging a 

 hermit out of its shell? Whichever way it started the others seem 

 to have caught on to the idea and found the results to their liking.
