Found the tents full of flies on our return. Went for a swim to 
get some relief. 
Dick and I and Pete and Alan handed 400 adult Sooty Terns in the 
afternoon. Paul went after Tropic birds and Boobies. 
Aug ust 22— Got up at 1030. Banded Sooty Terns until dawn - 2500 total. 
Paul did 100 Bonins . Slept for a couple of hours, made radio check 
at OoOO, waited for boat to come in. Dick and I went out about 0930 
to band 500 Sooty chicks a pied. Proved to be the hardest job we 
could have picked. They ran faster and better through the grass than 
adults. Finished the 1000, with Paul's help and the flies hindrance, 
about 4250.
