32 30 Collected on south, channel, end of Bush Key Reef, over lower end 
where surf washes over. Got number of hermits: 
31 Calcinus tibicen 1 Paguristes grayi 
3 large 3 little grayish hermits 
7 medium toxxmail 
7 medium to small xJfax&iifcaraiHX 
ll+ mixts small to quite small 
(1=tiny) 
No Clibanarius tricolor. Water too rough or too much motion for Clibanarius,

channels lining reef near southern or channel end. Also got one Paguristes 
gray/along with other hermits and a large Mithrax spinosissimus on outer 
southern end of reef. Visscher got a barnacle off this. 
Petrolisthes is very active swimmer, at least the little ones, and I

quick and active swimmers if disturbed. Cannot get big ones to swim in dish 
ten or so inches across. 
The little fellows are cream color, with fine transverse linkings of 
between ochraceous rufous and orange ochraceous, and scattered chestnut spots;
