Ch hadkik hdd RARE SPECIMENS ARE EXHIBITED IN LOCAL AQUARIUM Two of those rare species of crawfish, known as Japan- ese and called by some Span- ith crawfish, are on display at the Key West Tropical Aquarium, and are attracting a great deal of attention.

Mr. Romero also has = an- other flounder. Thi, resembles the one which he had in the tanks for several weeks, and is beautifully spotted. It is about 14 inches long. Ann’s with them.
