VISITORS 



Visitors for the day were permitted on the island twice a week. 

 Most of these were guided on a walk through the forest by the Resi- 

 dent Naturalist. In all, about 750 visitors, including organized 

 groups of Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and military personnel, took advan- 

 tage of the opportunity to spend a day on the island. This increase 

 of 310 over last year was primarily due to special charges made on 

 an experimental basis to organized groups, particularly Boy and Girl 

 Scouts. The visitors are met in the morning by the launch at Frijoles. 

 Then they are taken to the Island, guided on a 3-hour walk in the 

 forest, provided with lunch, and returned to Frijoles in time for the 

 evening train. In order to aid in accounting for visitors, a system 

 of issuing tickets was introduced.
