Ut was here that the larval form of
u fresh water eel was first discovered,
an incident which threw Il blaze OF
light on the life history of very mys-
tcrolls fish
All kinds of theories had been given
forth with regard to the propagation
OF the eel. Some naturalists declared
they bred in fresh water. others that
lhey visited the estuaries for spawning
purposes, but thanks to the discovery
off MeSsna and later captures OF the
eel in lis larval form it is practically
certain that nfter mature eels drop
down our rivers i'm autumn they lie

sea and there deposit their eggs.
From the egg comes little rlbben

mind as nothing but a dream.
.'But when ! found myself dreaming
the same dresl., again and again be.
gan to wonder what significance ii
would possibly have. Usually it varied
greatly in minor detail. Always. how
ever. the climax was the same-the
cat had me by the throat and was bit

gether dreamed this dream not less
than a score of times in six months.

lit had been a genuine premonitory
dream. Consciously had been in ut

IN my throat. 1t had not progressed
far enough to give me any pain or even
to cause discomfort. At the same time
