Reef Heron 
This island had \ery high vegeatation with 
perhaps 200 Redfoot nests , upon*- some of which birds 
were incubating. All three phases of redfoots 
were seen but we were able to obtain no mood 
estimates of their proportions. 
Mosquitoes were abundant and plagued us throughout 
the night. Binion and the others moved down to 
the beach while I hid 'beneath my Off inroreenated 
sheet trying to read Carthy on A nimal Navigation. 
T nearly mot carried away by the rats which were 
very numerous. (They were very abundant in the 
moist litter at the base of the root systems of 
the large trees) ■ 
The !, crown f? of the island is almost a hill, 
certainly much higher than on any other atoll x^e 
have so far visited. Perhaps 20-25 ft. in height 
This island or atoll unlike others visited 
is but a single lump of land. No lagoon.
