STRANGE MONSTERS OF

THE PACIFIC.

In "Atolls of the Sun" (Hodder and Stoughton, 20s.) Mr, Frederick O'Brien describes withelitertaining charm his "experiences, impres- sions, and dreams" on the strange coral reefs of the Pacific, where a "delicate green fringo of trees" surrounds each still lagoon and marks a sunken isle.

Mr. O'Brien has seen with his own eyes the monstrous robber- crab which climbs trees and seizes people's hair. "As he floated upon

surface the

of the quiet pale-green lagoon. On, the co,al in the deceptive half- light of the crepusele was a hideous shellbacked monster, which had emerged from an unseen fair, and moved slowly and lumberingly towards the cocoanut trees. Its motions and appearance in the semi-obscurity took 'on the quality of a dream-beast, affrighting in its i amazing novelty. It was like a great papier-mache animal in a pantomime."

He goes on to say how, "beset with apprehension that it might advance to the lagoon

While the crab was "climbing with unbelievable speed up slippery Krey trunk," the Painnotuan quickly laid his trap, while calling down curses on "that devil of the night who mbs us of -our--cocoknuts while we sleep." Nohca gathered clay and leaves and "fashioned a wreath of the

a height of some 40 feet, bound the wreath round the palm trunk and returned.

They waited.

We heard plainly a grating, in- cisive noise, and in a mainent a huge cocoanut fell from among the swaying trees to the earth., Then I heard a scratching, and peering through the darkness with the aid of my electric torch, I saw the colossal crab coming down the trunk..

He held on to the slippery bark by the sharp points of his walking legs, and backwardly descended with extreme care.

What was going to happen as the animal touched the girdle of clay and leaves?

The robber-crab, touching the dlay, moved less carefully, and sud- denly, to my astonishment, let xo his hold and, with claws wildly beating the air whirled downward from the height of forty feet, crash- ing on the rocks at the foot of the tree. With a thud the immense shell was smashed and the monster lay inert upon the cural stones,

Of course, the explanation is that the crab thought the clay he touched was at the bottom of the tree, and that he had only to hurry off and gather his cocoanuts!

In carrying a cocoanut and a green cocoahut is huge thing compared with the cocoanut as it reaches this country] the robber crab held it under some of its walking legs and retired, raised high on the tips of its members a foot from the ground. Its hady measured two feet long by eighteen Linches wide. It did not use its claws in ascending the tree ́ but clung with the sharp points of its legs, and I saw it go up steep rocks upon these.
