Matched creatures not I'm the least re-
sembllng their parents-little fellows
that swim with featherlike locomotive
organs near the surface of the water.
At the end of six weeks they develop
legs, unless, as Is highly probable, they
have previously been devoured by fish
es or other enemies, becoming thereup-
on small Holsters of familiar shape.
Having reached this stage Of growth,
the young Holsters become walking anil
mails, and, sinking to the bottom, imme-
dately seek hiding places to protect
them from their foes. :,
