--Apple-Mail-63--167048130 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed I don't know what Marg's unknowns here were, but her "jellyfish" that are the size and shape of grapes are not jellyfish at all, but cousins in another phylum called "comb-jellies" or "sea gooseberries", Pleurobrachia pileus, I think. Cheers from Jim in Wolfville, and now I have met Marg and know where she lives, very close to the big lodge at White Point -- and I saw my first White Point bunnies there, too; they are mostly white domestic rabbits (European rabbit)(think Watership Down, the good fictional account of a society of burrowing Eur. rabbits). The lodge gives out free bags of rabbit chow, and signs on the property saw "Children and Bunnies are Everywhere". I only saw about 5 bunnies in our almost 24 hours there. I guess the bunnies spend most of their time underneath the many lodge buildings?
