The May 1965 Townsend Cromwell cruise, from 12 May to 31 May, 
was the fourteenth of a series of 15 monthly cruises run by the 
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Serviced Bureau of Commercial Fisheries 
to the south, east, and north of the high Hawaiian Islands for the 
purpose of determining monthly variation in the structure and 
position of water types and currents in the area. 
This was the thirteenth cruise in which Pacific Project personnel 
have taken part. Daily sunrise to sunset bird observations were 
made for a total of 250.8 hours. In addition Project personnel 
assisted in making standard marine weather observations and 
in recording bathythermograms. Warren King was the sole Project
