We land on Laysan Island at 9:05 a.m. on the west side of the lagoon 
are dead I^omoea, Kama and Seguyjum plants and bird skeletons and eggs 
(albatross). These indicate the annual flooding of the low areas 
adjacent to the lagoon. Seedlings of Nai na, Sesuvium and resprouted rhizomes 
are ebundant in a strip varying from, about 8 feet to 45 feet 
in width. A similar area is located on the north east side of the la goon. 
Laysan finches, red-tailed tropicbirds, bristle-thighed curlews, ruddy 
turnstones, wandering tattlers, greater frigatebirda, masked boobies, 
trown booties, sooty terns, fairy terns and wedge-tailed shearwaters were 
seen.
