sea turtle studies in New York was provided by the 

 N.Y. State Dept. "Conservation's Return a Gift to 

 Wildlife" program. Manuscript preparation was 

 aided by contract DE-AC09-76SROO-819 between 

 the University of Georgia and the U.S. Department 

 of Energy. Workspace was provided by the State 

 University College at Buffalo and the Okeanos 

 Foundation. Turtle collection could not have been 

 accomplished without the help of hundreds of vol- 

 unteers and the commercial fishermen of Long Is- 

 land, New York. We thank Anne Meylan for main- 

 taining intestine samples and records from the years 

 1985 and 1986. For their efforts in collecting turtles, 

 we thank C. Coogan, P. Logan, S. Sadove, and R. 

 Yellin. The Long Island Shell Club donated mollusc 

 voucher specimens. William Zitek graciously pro- 

 vided necropsy facilities during 1985 and 1986, and 

 veterinary advice during 1989 that allowed us to 

 increase the number of fecal samples obtained.
