we take a cab to Hawaiian King where I have not much mil so soon get 
busy on reports. Dr. Ely calls from his place and I tell him what we 
accomplished, particularly regarding dark-rushed petrel. 
April 30- -Write special report on darlc-rumped petrel today and on 
article for Scree on Mauna Kea and Mauna Los which I send to Helga 
and Marge . 
Jim finally came back from Maui - he found hundreds of dark-rumped 
in Haleakala Crater, but didn’t actually see any on ground though he thinks 
they were on cliff which was inaccessible to him. Palled to get to 
Molokini . 
May 1 — This evening 1. Huber, K. Aaeraan, Long and myself paddle out 
3 A mile to Makuiua ’ a northern island (the larger) to use up the last 
of our wedgetail bands (7^0 ) • Seemed a long way nnd we had to p ass 
over a coral reef. Island lousy with wedgetails - we have no trouble 
banding all the bands we brought (l did 3QCH* myself). Observed three 
pair copulating, found pair of Bulwer’a in rock crevice, but Larry 
had the Ho. 2 string and banded sixty. ¥e saw six pigeons there when 
we went to the 225* top before dark. Long collected lots of plants. 
Fisherman camp with tents on ether island. 
Lorry got another speeding ticket coming home over Pali. 
May 2 -- Tonight I was preparing to accompany the same three to Manana to 
band Sooty Terns , hut chickened exit at the last minute knowing I'd never 
'Inish Big Is. report tomorrow if I did. 
Larry and Ken each banded 
two thousand while Long collected plants and banded three hundred.
