La Perouse Pinaicle. We were going with the wind so didft*t notice the 
large wav4s^ We reached the "rock" and saw that Brown Boobies, Fairy 
Terns, Common Noddies, and Grey-Wckfed Tenia were nesting there. The 
first two were never seen over East Island. Due to the large swells breakin 
over the rocks and the shear cliffs we were unable to land. We headed 
back for the ship and got thoroughly soaking wet since we were headed 
directly into the wind and waves. After reaching the ship we obtained*. \ 
more blood sampling material and headed back to East Island. During the 
afternoon and night blood samples were taken from Sooty Terns (10),

Common Noddy 01), Red-footed Boobies (10), Frigatebird (10), Lays an 
Albatross (chick) (10), and Wedge-tailed Shearwaters (10), Only eight 
of the seventy- one birds sampled died (three Booties, three Noddies, 
one Lays an, and one Black- footed Albatross). During the night a 
light trap was run but only one hippoboscid was obtained— nothing else. 
No ticks have been seen on East Island. The blood samples were stored 
in the ice chest overnight .
