(Pepper pot novelties ser.) 1R 16-sd-apply TFC 591.92 el-Jh-sh-c A Warner bros. production available only to schools "The cameraman photographs a variety of undersea life and records a dramatic battle between an octopus and a shark. The tentacles of a gillyflsh and the flower-like sea anemone move rhythmically with the motion of the water. Barnacles, sea urchins, sea cucumber, starfish are engaged in seeking food, while a hermit crab inspects and finally crawls into a new shell abode. "Animated diagrams are used to indicate the development of a fish; micro-photographs show us the maturation of a fish egg and the circulation of blood in a fish embryo. A shark and octupus engage in battle, the octupus discharging an inky fluid which serves him as a sort of smoke screen. "The commentary is enlightening, but the vocabulary may be too difficult for younger children. The photography is excellent. "Recommended for biology classes, grades 7 through college; zoology, grades 10 through college; art, grades 4 through college; nature study, grades 1 through 6."

(Battle for life ser.) 8min 16sd-apply TFC 591.92 el-jh-sh-c-adult Produced by Skibo and is available only to schools "This film introduces the dwellers on the sea bottom. An octopus enters an empty shell. A plumed worm expands its tentacles until it looks like a dahlia. Another strange worm, which appears to be half bat and half mouse, undulates across the screen. Beautiful hydroids, like creatures of spun glass, sway and bow in the ocean currents. "A sea urchin, looking like an antimated pin cushion, crawls into view. .We see its eggs, enormously magnified, go through cleavage up to 16 and 32 cell stages. Then there are snails and their eggs which hatch into ciliated, free-swimming forms. "A mother octopus guards her masses of grape-like eggs, stirring them frequently with her tentacles. Her relative, the common squid, lays its eggs in long rows of jelly. The eggs and embryo squids are shown in microphotography. A large magnification shows the heart beating. "A starfish swims by. A shot of the hydroids introduces the story of the formation of medusa by alternation of generations. A rabbit-like fish, looking out from its home in an empty mollusk shell; its young reveal the beating heart and capillary circulation. Another fish is brought in as an example of 'live-bearing' fish. "Excellent photography; no better picture of cell division could be attained. Highly recommended for nature study, grades 4 through 6; biology, grades 7 through college; and zoology, 10 through college."
