Huber collected a Golden Plover in apparently 
full breeding colors or close to it. 
On Bokin I collected a series of Hermit crabs 
from a large driftwood log. Many more sorts, of 
shells were utilized than' is generally the case in 
the Phoenix Islands, due in nart perhaps to the 
relative paucity of Turbo shells in this area although 
small numbers do occur. ’A nereis and a Harr shell 
were used among others. 
The dead turble found on the lagoon beach of Bokin 
had the braincase of the skull literally filled 
with small hermit crabs and many more were gnawing 
at the fleshy part? of the, skull $.nd body. Hopefully 
the turtle skull can be collected tomorrow.
