Abstract
I CAN corroborate Mr. Ernest Weiss's remarks on the use of the modified legs of Dromia. A small one I had in an aquarium would, when the sponge was removed from the back, hunt about until it found something—a shell, a pebble, or even a dead fish—to replace the sponge. When there was nothing in the aquarium which it could seize, it was evidently in an unhappy condition.
