Learned this morning that the trunk ws shipped by mistake to 
Xsmjelien and was now at the MATS terminal on Johnston. It was 
brought over alter lunch. Everything inside was in fine condition. 
A message stating that it had arrived, was sent to Caxl . Doyle to 
pass 
on to Up. Bushmen and HPC. The rest of the color leg markers for 
Sooty Terns were cut and put together. When these are used up we 
trill have no more until the new supply arrives from D. C. I now 
estimate we have about a thousand five hundred left (-). A few 
Hedge-tailed Shearwater markers were cut. During the day a few 
movie frames were made of young frigates and Shearwaters.
