This seems to indicate the earlier arrival of the cf to 
the Sere a werr i 5* gulls on S. pt. today - one Glaucus and 
Glaucus -winged Gulls. 
Worked on 6 more Laysans this afternoon - found one 
with a large hook in the neck, which we removed. Some- 
body probably fishing for gooneys from a ship somewhere. 
Found some very nice large black mallophaga in the upper 
wing coverts of two of the gooneys - the first ones like 
this we have found. Also some mite-like parasites in the 
neck. We now have cards on 32, needing 18 more to comple 
our cq

6 Jan. We had an afternoon full of rain, I worked on 
a long overdue letter to Dr. Dilger regarding Boobies 
here on Kure. Also did some paper work . All in all, 
a rather uneventfull day outside the lab. 
7 Jan. Working on plant plot figures from Nov., this 
will consume several rainy afternoons. Dennis worKing 
on skins. It clears in the afternoon, so we go out and 
work with six more Gooneys - one of the birds flinchea 
vigorously as we were bleeding it, and must have ripped 
the heart, for he died within 2 minutes of bieng released. 
Will be made into a skin. I could not find or feel a 
heart on one bird, so we did not bleed it. So - 5 more 
blood samples, 6 more McBeed cards with data and lots 
more nifty ectop arasites. Behavior of boobies na-u, 
with R2 trying to get R22, who is with another malB 
nearby. 
8 Jan. This day was spent on the N. tower, all day 
activity count. One RED Frigate was seen over W. beach, 
and one Red RFB flew and landed in the N. roost. The 
general impression one gets, however, is that there is 
a very limited amount of roost exchange inthese two
