PROJECT SEEKS HELP 
FROM PACIFIC RESIDENTS 
Interested persons living in 
the Pacific are urged to assist our 
study of Pacific birds by sending 
us your personal observations. Al- 
though we have scientists stationed 
in the Pacific, there are many 
islands, some of which are substan- 
tially populated, that are not 
covered by their studies. Obser- 
vations made by interested laymen 
are often just as useful as those 
made by scientists and will help 
fill these gaps. 
Your letters giving information 
such as the local breeding and 
migration schedules for various 
species, approximate numbers of a 
(Photo by Warren King) 
migratory species there at any one 
time, etc., would be especially 
appreciated. Also useful are Inter- 
esting photographs from your area, 
particularly if of a bird which is 
not commonly found there. 
We look forward to publishing 
appropriate contributions in future 
Letters to us concerning our 
program in the Pacific and re- 
quests to be put on our free 
mailing list for the Pacific 
Bird Observer should be ad- 
dressed to Pacific Ocean Bio- 
logical Survey Program, Smith- 
sonian Institution, Washington, 
DC., 20560.
