Modus viuendi Reached.

les, that will be satisfactory, it is 5e-

The CLAIMS eggs are carried by the
mother on her gills. When there are
fish in the water with them the mother
clans discharge the eggs which soon
hatch, but if there are no fish they
carry the eggs until they decay. The
reason Of this strange behavior is this:
When the eggs are set free in the
water they soon hatch and the little
ones swim about until they find some
fish to which to attach themselves.
They live for time on the mucus of
the fish and then drop off, sink to the
bottom and form burrows for them
selves. This curious semiparasitic life
Is no doubt a reyersion to the habit of
some ancient ancestor.
