near it. Palea Is. was where we camped. The vegetation of the islands is 
primarily coconuts but some remnants of Pigonia and smaller trees remain. The 
tall Pisonia was used by the Brown Boobies, Lesser Frigatebirds and Hawaiian 
Noddies for roosting. At the time of our stay,, Fairy Terns were obviously , 
breeding as were Hawaiian Noddies#, 
In addition to bird®, mammals, plants, insects and fish were collected*
