Mangroves and Coral Reefs
We ran In subsequently to what is
TTarge"Dugong Bay," Awing to. tare
arge number of these sea mammals
we met there. It is a very Unique
' 'harbor and extremely picturesque, be-
ing surrounded by islands and smaller
1'. bays and inter -Woven with coral reefs.
, , The bay is almost entirely fringed
-with mangroves, and it Is not unusual
to see two el• three crocodile§ in the
distance with their eyes and about six
feet of back showing above the water,
while several dugong will be•'sparting
about in the' hey at the same time., The
latter come up to the surface to
breathe, but they are only up for about
a second. . All around this little 'bay
• are muddy creeks and mapgroves,
'with sandy spits- running out into the
'water, and in the mud and ander the
mangroves there is a limited supply
of cockles as .large as 'a closed fist,
which are .excellent ,eating. While
Walkingabout in the mangroves a
sharp look -out has to be kept for
crocodiles, as they look like logs !s-
ing in the mud. On one occasion,
also, I was chasing a big crab, and on
looking up I saw thousands of flying
foxes hanging in 'the mangroves over-
bead.
Dugong Bay is the beginning of an
area teeming with fish, ..including a
member of well-known varieties, and
others that were not familiar to me.
white -fish are very plentiful, and acres
of them can be seen at a time jump-
ing in the water, and followed by
flocks of screaming gulls. Some of
these dell weigh up to twenty-five
?grounds,' The 'titles are out for six
hours twicee en the twenty-four, and
'daring this period the coral reefs are
exposed, . - Ie. Is impossible for me
to adequately describe the gorgeous
coloring and beauty generally of these
reefs, and prevailing colors being -blue,
purple, red, green and brown, with
floating material attached which le as
s.seft and fine-. as gossemer • All this
reef when the watetyis over its surface
•is swarming with rock -cod, parrot -fish,
and other varieties.. . I have seen
mars beautiful flower gardens, but
they are tawdry in comparison with

Czech Literature
Czech literature developed only
gradually,- and acquired a high artis-
tic standard only at the end of the
nineteenth century, During the whole
first half of the nineteenth century
Czech poetry lay under the spell of
romanticism and produced compar-'
atively little of permanent value. It
lacked and dreaded :that enthusiasm,'
that . unbridled 'imagination, lofty 1
irony, and Lyric eniotionalisin which,
constituted the magnetic charm of
Western romanticism. .It often lack -1
ed also in artistic beauty and in
wealth and diversity of ideas, and
adhered generally to those tendencies
which it considered useful for patri-
otic propaganda, for the promotion of
culture of the language and of na-
tonalism. The chief ideas of Czech
romanticism were: nationalism, pen-
Slavisni, Old Slav mythology, lan-
guage and folklore culture. The
greatest talents which it produced
were Vlachs, Erben, and Celakovsky.
