Natural history; Zoology; Botany; Geology. a piece of iron of the shape of a T, to the two extremities of which are attached two flexible pieces of bamboo armed with hooks. This sinks to the bottom, and the native sits perfectly still in his tiny canoe, which is then gradually drifted by the tide or current over the ground on which are found the Rega- deras. So soon as he feels that his trawling-apparatus has caught something, he begins to haul his line gently in, and generally finds two or three Regaderas impaled on the hooks. When taken out of the water, the Regaderas are dirty and yellow; but, after being put in fresh water or exposed to the rain and then dried in the sun, they become perfectly white. " The bottom of the sea where the Regaderas are found is composed of soft mud and sand. The root of the Regadera is imbedded in this, and the top or broad part always looks, as the natives say, to the setting sun (" a clonde sepone el sol"). In the Regadera, when fished up, are generally found from one to three small animals (bichos) of the crab species, of about the size of very small shrimps.
