372 Mr. G. A. Boulenger on Fishes from 
about 3 feet of water at low tide. Here the natives regu- 
larly farm the reef by baiting heaps of stones and coral with 
coconut scraped up and mixed with the ink of the cuttle-fish ; 
the fish always go to these heaps or some shelter at low tide, 
and are caught by nets and baskets. All the fish in the 
collection may be said to be typically reef-fish, and not fish 
merely visiting the reef with the tide. I think that the 
collection of these fish is a fairly complete one, as the natives, 
who have names for nearly all the fish, could only recall 
three by name which were unrepresented, and many were 
quite unknown to them. Some of the smaller kinds were 
obtained by breaking up masses of Madreporaria, between 
the branches of which. they live, and to which they invariably 
swim for shelter.”
