that he was perfectly willing to set his eggs down in a safe place when 
there was an opportunity to get something to eat* 
On one occasion when he had his head out of his hole and no eggs in 
his mouth I put my finger close to the end of his nose* He took it in his 
mouth and shook it vigorously three or four times* He appeared to bo neither 
annoyed nor on the defensive; it was simply his way of indicating his 
feelings towards all things un-jawfish* The jawfish I photographed over 
an extended period three years ago responded in the same fashion* I had 
thought at the time that it was his method of greeting a fellow under- 
water creature, and set a great deal of store by it* Mow I feel quite let 
down* We will keep this jawfish under close observation to find out how 
he handles the young when they appear* Will he treat them as food potential 
or as children? I am hoping that our jawfish will have a family feeling 
for them* 
In the afternoon — it took until about one o ’clock to finish off the 
jawfish ~ Tom and I ferried our pens out to the new shooting location and 
dumped them overboard* We also installed a Nassau grouper in our holding 
pen with the nurse shark and Remo# These two were very buddy-buddy, and Remo 
wouldn’t leave his friend even long enough to take some minnow we put in 
the pen# The shark wasn’t moving about in a very active way, but Remo 
seemed to feel that everything was as it should be, and spent all of his 
time with him, moving all over his hide, and pecking at him when he stopped 
swimming. Neither one of them paid any attention to the grouper* Chris
