Last named broke as I was cleaning off some growth like black ascidian, so 
must be quite old. 
In 17 & 18 combined got number of small crabs and 3 Crangon formosus 
and green squilla from cup sponge de Laubenfels dried (l in sugar, 1 to 
Stone, 1 in alcohol). Several hermits, 3 Parthenope ----. 
(<! ) 
One of the dromids (a small red^ovig. %.) lost his sponge and took on 
his back a large round bryozoan,cap-shaped. Got a Podochela,too. Parthenope 
serrata (M. Edw.) when in alcohol snaps chelae together in rather dangerous 
fashion, which suggests a mode of attack or fx defense against some other 
offensive creature or crab. Arms are like heavy spears mqfxax or javelins 
4 
with the stout, sharp-pointed fingers at thebusiness end.

This dromid was put in dish with small white cO of about the same size 
that carried a red sponge much too unwieldy for him. Wasn’t long before 
bnyozoan-carrying fellow had dispossessed Hie white one* xi&d fellow likewise 
could hardly walk, owing to buoyancy of sponge and when white o got on outside 
and on top —and it looked as though he purposely did it—it overbalance 
and left usurper (ovig. %) still hanging and dangling high in air.
