         I mentioned that and actually wrote a small description and 
published a black and white photo in an early JAKA.

         I was sent a chunk of mud from a location of a South American 
annual, it was as hard as a rock, as dry as could be, contained sticks and 
much dried, decayed organic matter.  I wet it and got  a few fry ..... 
really  close to "damp as pipe tobacco"..

         It simply helps clarify the "Witchcraft" we practice with annual 
fishes,  ... Not my word, Jim Thomerson in a early AKA convention 
workshop.......  What we do works, but we do not replicate the 
biotope................
