{Black Star) 



Above: the curiously named ''chicken fish" — a weird sea creature avoided by other fish. 

 If touched by a harpoon the creature feels so sure of its dreaded armament that it moves away 

 slowly, as if scorning attack, and is easily captured. Below : the beche-de-mer, sea 

 cucumber or trepang — eaten as a luxury by the Chinese.
