M$tu manu - 
An estimated maximum. population of 5,500+-- 2,000 sooty terns was 
estimated for this island. Coxae 690+- 200 pairs of Boobies at this date. 
6 Brown Boobies were seen in the Channel, and 2 wedge-tailed Shearwaters 
NW of the island. Mxivbmm. numbers of both Booties and Bed-foots were 
noted at 1600 - Maximums of both at 1845. The Sooties conjugated in 
larger and larger numbers between 1600 and 1845. I am uncure of the 
size of the population of sitting and roosting birds in this period, 
but I believe that more were present on the ground at 1845 than at 1600. 
A maximum of 11 Frigates were seen.
