Huber states that his estimates are based 
on counts. The discrepancy in Hawaiian Noddy 
indicates someone's error. Since No Hawaiian 
Noddy were seen on the adjacent island* Erybor * 
by Amerman* Lehner, and myself* 1 would tend 
to favor the lower figure. 
Huber and Wislocki collected a dark phase 
Reef Heron and a Crested Tern. Huoer q 1°o 
notes that there were chickens being kept by 
the single native family inhabiting the island* 
The only other "real " discrepancy in the 
above estimates are the two figures on Pandering 
Tattler. I have no way of knowing which might 
be the more accurate. ■ • 
Wislocki notes that pigs were being kept on _ 
this island also. A small species of lizard 
(not the large form noted on Erybor), was seen 
and apparently was the "Blue-tailed bkink", (the 
form with the dark dorsal striping.) No nests 
were seen by either Wisiockx or Hubei •
