and certain species of the petrels were
found inhabiting the same burrows,
apparently on the best of terms. In
rare cases the burrow, which consists
of a passage two or three feet long,
ending in a chamber foot and a half
long, one foot broad and six inches
high, is the work of the bird. AS rule,
however the lizard is the eXcavator.
Each builds its nest on opposite sides
of the chamber, the lizard almost in
variably choosing the left and the
petrol the right side. The lizard feedS
partly on worms and beetles and partly
on the remnants of fishes brought to
their common table by the petrol, both
animals being thus benefited by the
partnership. This is probably more
than can be said of the prairie dog
whose underground home is frequently
shared by the rattlesnake and the bur-
rowing OWL These were at one time
supposed to form a happy family"
but considerable doubt has been cast
on the point by the discovery of young
prairie dogs in the stomach of the
rattlesnake, which seems to indicate
that cOmmensalism in this particular
case has been a one-eide affair so far
as the benefits were concerned.
1t is among marine animals, how
ever, that the most striking examples
of commensalism have been observed.
A feeble fish called the remora owes
its success in life to the powerful al
liances it forms. One Of its fins has
been transformed into a sucker placed
right on top of its head, by means of
which it attaches itself firmly to any
passing shark, whale or even ship, no
doubt mistaking the latter for some
huge sea monster. BY these it is
transported without any eXertion on It's
own part over great distances. mean
| while picking up such food as may
come in it's way.
Several small fishes have been found,
also, to habitually lodge in the mouth
| cavity Of a Brazilian catfish, sharing
! such food as the latter succeeds in
| capturing. The enemies of the smaller
| fishes are so numerous that it is only
! by retreating to places inaccessible to
| their foes that they have a chance OF
/ survival. A favorite shelter for many
| small fishes is the round disk of the
! larger sea jellies, the stinging prop

been counted swimming within the
fringed margin of one of these pull.
sating umbrellas. The sea Cucumber'
are another lowly group of marine
forms which afford shelter to fishes.
Other instances might be given, such
as that of the little pea crab, found in
! mussels and other bivalve shells, which
in return for the protection given then
by the molluskan shell gives it's hos
share of the food it captures.
