Last evening Miller brought in a Physalia. Kept it into night. Was 
not phosphorescent when I first looked at it in dark near 9 o’clock, 
nor when irritated or stirred up. Of course this is but one isolated case, 
but it was not luminous anywhere or in any sense. The blue at pointed hinder 
end most intense hyacinth blue, fading out to Antwerp blue anteriorly, same 
in folds of crest. Edge of crest rose purple, also shorter tentacles below, 
fading into lilac. Long tentacles dark auricular purple, or almost dahlia 
purple. 
Measured fish and opened stomachs and intestines all morning. Looked 
at balance of June 9 fishes; to date have looked through 264. Knocked off 
at 3:00 p.m. to write this and some letters. 
Dr. Mann's birthday party. Made candles in test tubes. Cook made cake and 
put flag over door, also special soup, which we ordinarily do not have for 
supper. 
Chester got a conch with a Petrochirus in it and also got two Porcellana 
sayanas out of it—first I had seen. Larger of two was between itxarag dragon’s 
blood and coral red with whitish spots, smaller liver brown with spots more 
nearly white. 
June 14, 1925, Sunday. 6:30 a.m. 
Wrote letters last night and a litte more this morning to Stummy. 
After the Dohrn goes will be a day of fish stomachs, all day until bedtime. 
June 15, 1925, Monday. 
All day on fish stomachs.
