Intelligence of CRABS,
The intelligence shown by these crabs is
remarkable. They climb the palms, bite
of a nut and allow it to drop and thus
break it open, and if they find nut on the
ground they have been known to take it to
the top Of a tree and then hurl it TO the
ground. Others, and generally the large
ones, have been observed to beat it against
. rock and so break the thell. They in

many wiles they have to effect their escape

question was raised in London whether
crabs remained in the same locality year
