August 14, 1924. Thursday- 
Cleaned up yesterday’s stuff and went through a large loggerhead for 
"shrimps" two halves of sponge, that is, contents of, bottled separately. 
Sponge was about 18 inches in diameter across the top and 12 inches across 
bottom and 12 inches high. 
In afternoon, owing to fact that I had to finish up the second half of the 
sponge after lunch, went out near three looking to see if part of Long Key 
Shoal would be out of water at low tide. Lowest place was 2§--3 feet under 
water (where we bumped the other day). Here I picked up some perforated and 
weedy rock and an old worn conch shell which had 3 reddish brown Mithraxes 
in it—are these color phases of the green one with two spines on carpus?
