Field Notes for Square Island, ♦ September 1, 1938: 
We put into Square Island just before dark on September 1, and 
left at daylight the next day* We had but an hour ashore which was mostly 
after dark* Of course I could do nothing with the birds. I could see 
quite a few dark forms flit about in the twilight, but only identified 
the Robin; we heard one note of what must have been the Fox Sparrow, 
and Ray says he heard a Loon. Saddlebacks were flying about the harbor. 
However, we were able to collect the following for the United States 
National Museum: 
3 bottles of Jellyfish 
4 bottles of Marine Life (microscopic) 
1 bottle of small fish (Banticles) 
4 Bottles of Insects. 
Rupert Bartlett was able to pick up a few flowers for the United 
States National Museum. 
♦Square Island is app* 52 44^ N. Lat*, 55 49’ W. Long*
