The island had relatively few coconut trees 
(3-4) and the sandy* beaches supported a series 
of ghost crabs. There was much Pis onia and 
much P pmT> bis . Huber noted- that Frigates roosted 
primarily in Pemphis while many of the Fed-footed 
Booby were rossting in Pimokidu The Pemphis 
had a more northerly distribution on the island, 
while the Pisonia was found to the south* 
Hawiian Noddy nests werk found in large numbers 
(estimate 500 Amerman) in both Pemphis and 
and Pisonia. 
Amerman notes that all Sooty Tern shot had 
brood touches but there were no traces of eggs 
or nests. Most of the Sooties were found on 
the ground in under the edge of the forest. 
Two well grown Crested Tern chicks were found 
and many of the nesting Fairy Terns had large 
chicks almost ready to fly* Only about four 
Common Noddy nests were found * Two of these 
were on palm fronds about P-3 feet from the 
ground. . ..
