chain from the 22nd through the 2Uth. All others, except for a few Red-foots 
at sea, 'were within the Lisianski-Laysan complex* All species were found 
in much greater numbers than last July. 
FRIGATEBIRDS 
Frigatebird numbers were over twice as great as last July. Usually 
individuals were seen, but occasionally two or more would follow a large mixed 
feeding flock. Frigatebirds were seen to attack Boobies on numerous occasions 
near islands. At sea where boobies were relatively scarce, Wedge-tailed 
Shearwaters appeared to be a common prey.

MISCELLANEOUS 
One Ruddy Turnstone was observed on lit July about fifteen miles south 
of Lisianski Island. One dark colored heron was observed flying within 
sight of Nihoa on the 23rd.
