Got a lot of lobsters from fisherman. After pickling them went out on reef, 
got a few more things like previous days (Crangons referred to here particularly). 
Collected more of the Xanthids from under rocks in order to get as complete a 
series as possible. Got three Oeypodes from beach between rocks from what 
was surely below high tide level. Didn’t know they built galleries there. 
Finally succeeded in digging up another worm tube. Failed to get whole 
tube, but was lucky enough to get a worm. There are two tubes in bottles of I 
think separate worms. The longer ended in a mollusk hole in a rock and I 
could not get it all out.
