August 22, 1924. Friday. 
Went down on rocks below lighthouse pier; got a few crabs(whichj were 
put in bottle, but not labeled as it had to be packed too soon. Got a P. 
grayi in small conch shell; had to break part to get it in bottle. 
In a long, rather deep crevice, saw several (4 or 5) Percnons, I am 
quite sure, pulling weeds off rocks with chelipeds. Had bright (brilliant 
lemon or brighter) yellow markings and edgings, antennules ditto; otherwise, a 
rich brown, tawny ochraceous with darker burnt umber) black-brown 
spines and markings. Couldn’t catch any. 
Fermin brought in three Pachygrapsus and a Dromia from around dock piles. 
One put in bottle with above, but unlabeled. 
August 23, 1924. Saturday 
Went down on rocks again for an hour and a half actual time on rocks 
below lighthouse pier to get a Percnon if I could, but they still eluded me. 
One needs a sort of spring contrivance which shoots out hooks to catch wary 
crabs like these in tight or close quarters like rock crevices. — Hooks 
that will shoot down and in when released, or something in a pipe that will snap 
out. 
Dr. Longley gave me a Hippa that had been taken earlier in season. I 
e h, 
suppose -a-' beach near dock where Bender said he found one, too, earlier in 
season.
