Other day about 4:30 or 5:00 put Hippa in aquarium; it burrowed right 
ybdKxxx under. That evening about 9*00 o’clock I went out to look at aquarium 
Portunus depressifrons had it half (3/4) eaten, bottom legs all gone and shell 
empty except at extreme hinder end. 
Calappa supports itself on last two pairs of legs while eating passing 
food up with 2nd and 3rd pairs chelipeds merely holding rests on flat edge of 
propodus to keep from sinking in sand. When walking legs are very tactile 
in function, feeling and testing out ground ahead as crab moves, twitching 
and nervous much antennules 
Taylor went dredging 3 miles north of Loggerhead on 10-45 foot depth 
shoal. Got nice lot of crabs. 
Dr. Longley and I used diving beerd for rocks and turtle grass rootsy 
To get food fishes feed)on fairly successful though no large numbers of 
Petrolisthes.
