Then on the beach beside a group of these appears a clam Ensls which pushes itself into the sand. That the king crab is more closely allied to spiders and scorpions than to the crab is pointed out. A specimen is turned over and about and the external morphology, the locomotor and breath- ing movements are illustrated We see the slipper limpet, Crepidula, which attaches itself to the king crab. A col- ony of bryozoans is pointed out. We see the king crabs attached before egg laying, then some newly hatched larvae. Adults return to the sea "An interesting picturization. . . Pho- tography is quite good and interest is height- ened by closeup shots. . . The verbal material is definitely biological, although not too tech- nical."

It shows how the spider spins his web and catches his prey. The illustrations of the ways in which he fastens them to his web and how they are paralyzed is very interesting.

Highly recommended for use by either intermediate groups or Junior or Senior High School groups. It is an explan- atory film quite detailed and is complete in all details. . .

We see an ant drinking a dew drop. Rival male crickets fight, the victor courting the female. A cricket 'sings' by moving its wings. The grotesque heads of the wolf-spiders are shown in detail. A sand cricket struggles with a trap-door spider, then with a centipede whose poisonous bite kills him. There are shots of aphids, being eaten by ladybird larvae, and of bees on flowers. "Action sounds and commentary. The novelty of the sequences, the high quality of the photography, and the enlightening commentary make this a film which should be very valuable in all studies of insect life. "Highly recommended for nature study, grades 4 through 6; for biology, grades 7 through 12, and zoology, grades 10 through 12. Should have some value also for college biology and zoology."
