for a long time without eating. In waters that
1t frequents 1t may be seen at low tide slowed

to loaf and lurk about them. There is one tank
there containing small blackfsh in which there
are fragments of rock perforated with holes
made originally by some boring mollusk,
which have doubtless been enlarged by the 40
tion of sand and water.
Into the largest Of these holes one Of the
blackfish creeps. AS the rock lies in the tank
the hole is downward. Just back Of the front
fish goes into this hole head downward and
