oyster crab has been known from the ear.
Hest history, and a curious network OF
stories have been woven about II.
Aristotle the Greek and Pliny the Ros

even went so far as to say that desth

sert its host. The watchful crab, living
within the home of the dull and stupid

would wait until one more bold than the
rest of his companions ventured within
the open shell; then, gently nipping the
oyster, the doors would be closed and the
fish held a prisoner. Thereupou the twos
the host and his guest, would feed ct lei-
sure upon the body Of the venturesoms
fish.
Another stony, which held its own until
late In the last century, was that this lit

jackal, so 1t Is that the little crab feeds

Again. the crab was said to warn its
protecting host from danger BY q timely
pinch, so that the doors could be closed
against some crafty octopus or insidious
star6sh, and for which service the crab
was rewarded by board and lodging.
1t is true the oyster crab may act In
such manner that it warns the oyster OF

scarcely believe that Il IL anything but q
