   A 
  BAMBOO 
  TRICK 
  ALONG 
  THE 
  ROADSIDE 
  IN 
  TRINIDAD 
  

   Trinidad 
  presents 
  a 
  fascinating 
  field 
  for 
  the 
  naturalist. 
  One 
  historian 
  says 
  of 
  it 
  : 
  "We 
  have 
  

  

  lakes 
  of 
  pitch 
  streams 
  of 
  tar, 
  oysters 
  growing 
  on 
  trees, 
  an 
  animal 
  resembling 
  a 
  fish 
  that 
  produces 
  

   its 
  ^im/ahve, 
  crabs 
  that 
  climb 
  'and 
  feed 
  in 
  fruit 
  trees, 
  another 
  fish 
  that 
  entertains 
  us 
  with 
  a 
  concert, 
  

   and 
  one 
  kind 
  that 
  is 
  clad 
  in 
  a 
  complete 
  suit 
  of 
  armor."
