There also rosy have been a second eestedo present 
which emptied its segments into the focal stream and had 
exceptionally xri.de segments: This suggests some kind of 
Psoudophyllidean, perhaps a Bibothriocephalid# However,

Total ccstcde population probably stood in the range 
50^000 - 100,000 worms, about 2/3 of tins being small

villus was noted, there being a few hemmoragic spots pre¬ 
sent, but the adjustment of parasite and host seemed well 
made# The costodo niche in this animal is also saturated.

It continues to rain today, and wo finished securing 
cor gear for the inspection, and stored all of the samples 
preserved from the seal auyopsy* I skinned the last frozen 
booby today, and now only one tropiebird with a broken wing 
remains as backlog to bo done# Still rai n i n g in the after¬ 
noon and this keeps us from work with the gooneys.

Began today feeling tcrriblo - headache, no energy, 
and my left thumb that I cut when working on the seal 
skin two days past was swollen and inflamed badly by 
last night, and by this AJ4 after a nearly sleepless 
night the length of the hot infection had extended 
the whole length of the thumb# Began taking a tetracycline 
antibiotic,TA0, ©very six hours* Bill decided with wars 
and the continued blackening of my eyes from the shutter
