in snuanons SUCh as mese. sclenunc researchers in every part o~
the United States and Canada rely on the extraordinary skills,
knowledge,_and services of a man like Jack Rudloe, a professional
biological collector and superlative nature writer. Poachers as well
as green turtles, shrimpers as well as batfish, seafaring philoso-
phers as well as sea robins are the true-to-life characters in Jack
Rudloe s memorable book about the long wilderness coast of
northwest Florida. The reader soon comes to feel a common stake
in the varied commercial efforts of the author-collector and his
Gulf Coast friends, a fine down-home gallery of shrimpers, oyster-
men, and crabbers whose overflowing nets are gleaned by Jack
Rudloe for highly valuable "trash" creatures useful to medical
research centers but worthless to them.
Mr. Rudloe s collecting adventures with giant cockles, sea pan-
sies, blood clams, lugworms, conchs, sharks, crabs, and sea
cucumbers are exciting, but his trials and errors in his combined
warehouse, laboratory, and shipping point learning to pack and
dispatch some of the oddest creatures on earth are fascinating as

grass may suffice for some, but the resourceful collector finds he
needs all the imagination and ingenuity he can muster to make sure
many delicate animals--such as sharks--survive their jet-air jour-
