or " lower " as a matter of design, or simply to 

 get rid of the earth pellets rolled up during the 

 excavation of its burrow, is discussed. 



Dr. Shufeldt agrees with Prof. Kalph S. Tarr 

 in the premises that no design is implied on the 

 part of the crayfish in these structures, and the 

 only intention of the animal is to get rid of the 

 earth balls it brings up while engaged in form- 

 ing its Ijurrow. Dr. C. C. Abbott holds a con- 

 verse view. The article is illustrated by a 

 drawing, l)y Dr. Shufeldt, of the •'chimney" of 

 Barton's Crayfish, C. hartunii robiistus, made 

 from one of his photographs taken near "Wash- 

 ington.

 Still another attempt to dispel some of the 

 existing ignorance in reference to the physiol- 

 ogy of the male organs of generation (the'
