surely do miss you, Ed! Its not the same by one'sself. Willy, of course, is 
very keen & I talk "shop" & many other subjects with him - quite different 
from my weeks with Natha'! - but [[underlined]] still [[/underlined]] - 1 wish 
you were here. Together we could range over the island in no time at all!

Dear Ed - 
[[left margin, vertical line]] 
A long day & I've just finished a long evening on the map. It is about 2/3 
complete, I think. It shows some interesting things - particularly the kind 
of topography development on tuffacious Is. or compared with 
[[insertion]] A that of [[/insertion]] relatively pure Is.

Dear Ed - 
Another long day but somehow I'm not so tired tonight. Maybe its 
because the map is finished - at least the outline is and two interior 
traverses. The outline checking in fairly well - about like Tuvutha'. 
Between treks today I worked in the interior - collecting from beautiful 
outcrops of the basal foram beds exposed on the south slopes of the 
lake basin. There are numerous 6-inch echinoids but many are 
fragmentary & all very fragile. I got enough for identification, I think. Also 
got the first Lauan shark's tooth today! Its a small one & unless I am 
badly mistaken
