child had evidently died in the jungle 
and above its tiny grave amongst the cus¬ 
tard apples and wild figs, this flaming 
woven skirt was placed to mark the spot. 
Not far away, an Indian meat hook dan¬ 
gled from another branch, with a frag¬ 
rant of hide caught upon its wooden 
barb. There were rotting tent poles, and 
flattened soggy masses of thatch. 
Beneath the largest of the old mag¬ 
nolias, the boys found an Indian spoon 
and three arrows, the latter ingeniously 
carved. A broken machete lay half 
buried by the cabbage palms that had 
flourished above it, these many seasons. 
The last discovery was the most in¬ 
vigorating. A fine, plump cinnamon 
bear, conscious of impending trouble, 
broke from the cover of some low bushes, 
and streaked it across the clearing, in 
plain sight, with Cat'low after him, yelling 
like mad! 
[The very interesting pictures of Semi¬ 
nole Indian camps which illustrate this ar¬ 
ticle zvere taken by Mr. King in a previous 
exploration of adjacent portions of the 
Everglades. Next month’s continuation of 
Mr. Lamed’s story of the expedition will 
tell of the anxiety of all Florida over the 
non-appearance of the explorers, and the 
Z'ain search conducted by aeroplanes above 
the zoater wastes. Editors.! 
FISH PREVIOUSLY UN¬ 
KNOWN TO SCIENCE 
(continued from page 155) 
which have the ability to extend the skin 
of the lower part jf the body until they 
assume a globular form, in which condi¬ 
tion they are sometimes used by native 
children to play ball with. There is a fish 
of this nature common in salt water near 
New York City in summer, but in this 
part of the world none of them are found 
in fresh water. 
This leads us to the only important 
Congo group so far unmentioned, the 
Cichlids, spiny-rayed fishes with a general 
resemblance to a perch or perhaps better, 
a sunfish or “pumpkin seed.” The Cichlids 
occur in numbers both in Africa and South 
America, species in the one and the other 
continent of ten showing a quite remark¬ 
able similarity. The spiny-rayed type which 
they represent is the most modern fish de¬ 
velopment and the theory is advanced that 
they have entered the fresh waters of 
■ Africa and South America in comparative¬ 
ly recent times from the adjoining seas, 
where they are now replaced by still more 
modern forms. At least it is a fact that 
coral reefs form the center of competition 
for fish life today; that is the region where 
the greatest variety of most up-to-date 
species are to be met with. Starting from 
this point, as one goes down into the depths 
of the ocean or up into fresh waters, one 
finds less modern, more primitive fishes.
