Paul gave nine skin test antigens: PPD-A, B, F, G, S, T, Y, coccidioidin, 
and histoplasmln to 45 of the 48 patients whom we bled and all 48 were 
weighed and measured today and about half examined by Raymond and Richard. 
Thus, we got a great part of the work done here in short order. 
Richard is a bit depressed and bored with so many infant physical 
examinations and is not sure why we are doing them. That the discovery 
of more spleens palpable here than on all Merelava is a case in point. 
Yet the job is tiring and it is easy to get sloppy. I am directing less, 
leaving more to the originality of the others, and this may prove very 
good. 
Swimming in Lesulab basin this afternoon, after the shore boat returned 
with Ray and Judy and Don, I struck my toe severely on a submerged stone 
and broke the anil of my left big toe and lacerated the toe as well. I 
hope it heals without any chronic sore or ulcer developing for I have 
hiking to do on Gaua. 
Paul, Jean and I have not returned to the ship since we left it and 
the others are now getting enthusiastic for life on the shore. Ferber 
finds much of this roughing it a bit new to him, but he seems to enjoy it.

We have had a problem of recording! All notes on loose paper are 
getting misfiled, lost or damaged and thus we have used much of the morning 
to transcribe notes taken on loose sheets into out standard red-bound 
notebooks. The fact that we sent over 20 such notebooks from NIH has 
proved very Important. 
Walter Schneider stayed on shore all day today ,and Walter did a good 
deal of cinema documenting our work with the people.
