the burrcfwing ehrlmp. The ones we have found are very timid, live in 
burrows like Jawflshes {neatly ohii&ed up with stones and shells) , the 
main difference being that the houses of the btirrowers go in at a slant, 
while a jawfish house goes strei^t down, (He wants to be able to hang 
on to his pectorals in the opening, re^y to swivel in any direction.) 
Also the burrowers do not pile shells and stones around the openings of 
their homes. If they want to make ar^r changes they haul the excavated

they want outside of the burrow mouth, tl^y usually dig a ramp towards it, 
eo ttet they will at least be in a slit trench when they reach it. But 
we have not been able to lure one more than two or three inches from the 
mouth of its den. And it can flash back out of sight as quick as light.

tlufir burrows with flexible tubing. Nothing happened. Tom I will 
try friendship. We will try to toe It one into coming out and revealing 
himself Just because he feels like it. 
Chris and Ned narked a burrower's bouse, so we itwved our small 
enclosuire to it, set it in place, chinked up all the cracks — minly 
to keep small, prowling slippery dicks from getting in and running off
