orally have been unable TO explain why
so few of the hundreds OF thousands OF
eggs laid by each female among the
fresh water fish ever reach maturity.
In a life history study of the long

University Biological Station at Winona
Lake, Ind, observations were made
each day OF the troubles Of vigilant
male sunfish trying TO guard his nest,
with its precious eggs.
Long Ear. who is rather long on pug

their lesson OF the purpose and use OF

into the nest every time the warriors
attention was diverted. but their actiyi.
ties were more of a nuisance than a

The greatest difiicuity the harassed
father Sunfish had was the insidious ad-
vance OF the tank corps Of snails The
sunflsh could not kill the snails because
Of their protective shells. but had 10
