we gave him a blue crab as a substitute. He seemed pleased, 
Tom and I dropped down for eon^e K©re ni^t shooting. Pitch-black 
night, with no moon. Couldn’t find the reef we wanted and had to settle 
for another, Turned out to be the one we had worKed aaround back in 1957. 
Great many fish. The three-spotted goatfish lying in the grass were 
scarlet, with no sign of their usual brown spots. Could change to pale 
lavender in telf a second. The mud parrots, usually gray aM xininterssting, 
also were shades of rose and red. One of them was lying on its side on a 
patch of stones. Saw two huge trunkflsh. Tom held one of them in his 
hands, but it got excited after a BKJiaent and after trying to go forward, 
threw itself into reverse and got away, 
July 28 , Tuesday, Had planned to do some more work with lobsters, but 
our pair had disappeared. When we caiae to the shooting enclosure on 
Monday, they weren't in it. Perhaps when the glass had come off In the 
swells of Saturday they had e lipped out. Either that or son^one had 
plucked them out on Sunday. We spent several hours trying to catch some 
more to take their places, And always they managed to get away. Except 
one. And it was so excited when we unloosed it in the shooting pen that 
it went bucketing about backward like a chicken with Its head off, 
straight out through the open door, Tom grabbed at it as it went by, 
ard caught it by one feeler. He stopped it for about three tail-kicks 
and was left holding the feeler. And we were once w^re without a lobster.

in spite of no close-up camera to begin work on the etomtopods. Dr. 
Chace had reported one of the jawfishee we sent in to the Smit5isonian In
