Sunday* Slept until seven. ¥/orked on the pressure plate and the 
front extension for the new camera box until nearly noon. Had Tom check the 
jawfish. Nothing new. He reported that the fish is cleaning up his 
house. I ’ll be daraned.* The other fish still has his mouth stuffed with 
eggs. Maybe we can learn something from him. V^ent out to Goulding for a 
picnic in the afternoon. Beautiful day. 
July 3. 
Spent the morning working on the pens, fitting screens, placing 
i 
coral, carrying sand, generally getting things ready for serious work. 
Chris came down in mid-morning with a message inside his face plate. The 
film had been returned from Calvin (one week for the round-trip -- pretty 
good) and also a report letter and a cable. An airmail latter gets to 
Nassau as fast as a cable. Basic exposure in sun of Fs4 with a 40R filter 
appears to be the best. Our gray scale appears to have bean to no purpose. 
I viewed the entire roll of film in the evening and found that at a distance 
of five feet the gray scale was blue, no matter what filter or exposure wo 
used. However, the flesh tones on Tom’s arm holding the gray scale appeared 
to be very good. Must have been some sort of sky reflection affecting 
the gray scale. We had the scale mounted water-tight between twD sheets 
of plastic.
