A.M. went out to East Key, but as tide was full, trip was useless. Visited 
Sand Key on the way, no collecting. Water full of Ctenophores this a.m., but 
got nothing but fragments in townet. Noticed them when swimming, each stroke 
n 
mass of jelly. 
# 28 - 30 . 
Collected east of Fort landing dock; Fort Jefferson, waterglass, took 
clumps of Porites in dip net and specimens came out of that. Several small 
shrimp, a larger striped one, and a black cross-barred alpheid. From interstices 
of coral head (which had " pockets" or nooks into which they could withdraw 
between coral colonies) got about 5 Mlthrax verrucosus, couple of hermits, 
2 mollusks, 1 bivalve, 1 gastropod with red algae over outside; a small Upogebia 
from amone Porites, probably hole in rock base of dump. Heads on edge of 
shoal west side Ft. Jefferson on south edge of this shoal.

Collected on Bush Key Reef on inside. Fort side. Examined Strorribus shells, 
got 2 large hermits and 2 others on flat of reef. Also looked over coral heads; 
got a small Stenopus out of one, mostly red, maybe a young hispidus. Picked 
up a dead Pitho shell on flat of reef. 
Visscher gave me two coral gall crabs cracked out of coral; also got two 
lumps with crab holes in them myself. Also got a little striped shrimp 
(Hippolyte?).
