Abstract
THE Student and Intellectual Observer, New Serie, No. 2, for April, contains an article entitled “Animals as Fellow-Boarders,” being a translation of Von Beneden's valuable paper on Commensalisme, read before the Belgian Academy, describing the habits of creatures who may be said to board together, but whose association is distinct from that of victim and parasite. They are of two kinds, Free Fellow-Boarders, such as the tiny pea-crab, which lives in mussel-shells; and the Fixed Fellow-Boarders, like the barnacles which cover the skin of whales.
