run off vith it becauBe I •was afraid we wouldn’t see him again. He 
showed no fear, and no concern about being in an enclosure. We put 
in a live small minnow, but he paid no attention to it — probably 
because it remained near the top of the cage, well out of his reach. 
Later we introduced another stomatopod, somewhat smaller. He was very 
much aware of that, and when the newcomer ventxired into his rock he 
beat it up and sent it flying, 
I ^d taken only a few feet of film before I was conscious of 
the fact that the camera was making a peculiar sound. Concluded that 
it had lost a loop. Nothing to do but go ashore and check on it. 
Diagnosis correct. This is the camera that blew a gasket yesterday, 
Hoje this doesn’t indicate a iisore serious trouble. 
Returned to the location and made bob® more studies of the stomato- 
pod darting about like a weasel. Shot close-ups of ttfce worms with

July 13th . Monday. This TOaming when I opened the lid of Old Long 
Snout (the camera with the extended lOO-mm lenses for close-ups — 
which got itself exploded), I was met by a cascade of buckled ai»a pleated 
filmj the camera was jammed solidly with it. Apparently it had lost a 
loop the second time and the take-up also had failed. What a business i 
Oddly enough when I ran a piece of film through it for testing 
purposes everything moved without a hitch. The camera action sounded 
a little rough, but we ran a reel through it three or four times. Not 
once did it lose the loop. We concluded that the trouble on the last 
roll must have been a coincidence.
