like reptiles evidently thrown overboard by the ships. At low tide we see considerable algae of a more delicate kind. The Sargassum and the grass kind evidently grow further out in deep water. A number of crabs are seen. At low tide one gets to see considerable [illegible] elevated coral reef and everywhere the ends are conspicuous in it. At one place I came upon a great number of dead conchs all of which had a great hole broken in on the dorsal side near the last whorl. It would look as if some canings bored into them in this definite place. The shells were not dead dry as they had still the natural color and the outer chitinous layer of the last whorl was still intact. Photographed these. Was introduced to Anthony J Rockhamber on Key Largo as the best man to show the coral reefs. He told me of various good places where the reef came only of waters at low tide. Can keep me at his home.
