July 8 
Went to Bishop Museum. Saw Dr. Roland-Force, Director. Had a very pleasant 
chat. Then met Drs. Gressitt, Stroutman, and Wilson of Entomology. Found 
that they were doing a good hit of work with ectoparasites. Spent some time with 
Edwin Bryan and 'learned something of his Pacific Scientific Information Center. 
Made arrangements to work with the skin collection. Called Dr. Philip Ashmole 
and made arrangements to see him. 
July 9 
Spoke with Philip Ahsmole at Bishop Museum for about 2 hours. He is 
concentrating on sooty tern studies, primarily on Christmas I. Is not doing 
anything particular with boobies as was reported. 
Edwin Bryan has been working on a checklist of Pacific birds for about 
30 years. I have looked at some of it. It is quite massive, about a dozen 
or so volumes. However, it is rather rough and needs quite a bit of work before 
it will be ready for publication. 
Started working on the skins at museum today. 
July 10

Saw Takata at Fish and Game. Woodside went to Hawaii, did not see him.
