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?
