Dear Dr.Ely; 
I need some information on some at sea birds.We do not have the 
cataloges with these numbers in them. 
1576 -Phaethon lepturus need at sea location. 
0950 -Oceanodroma leucorhoa need at sea location. 
0923 -any information. 
Anous stolidus with attached label. 
I took Mr. Bushmans two bird skins and set them aside.Also,what are the 
birds on my desk for?Should I put them with your chicken?Have you got 
the Honolulu freezer inventory list yet? 
yours truly 
location* Pacific Ocean 
- no locality data in catalogue. 7ou will need to get the time of collecting 
from the raw data sheet (see Pat Gould) and then calculate the position 
(most easily done from the weather sheets)•

weight not 
taken, "color notes, molt, food, remarks on McBee Card", 
"Anous stolidus with attached label" Are you certain that this is not 
A, minutus? It should be a chick; it should have a label and is number 1372 
Tn the at sea catalogue, '^he data is not in the catalogue since the bird was 
sent babk while the catalogue was at sea. 
I'll write Max about the birds left on your desk, I plan to get them 
for FHKSC after the paper work on them is finished. 
We haven't had time for the freezer inventory as of yet. It now has 
about a hundred more birds than last month/ 
Jim did not have time to get the data you requested from Sand before 
he came off so I'm sending it down to Cam, Cam yew- will send you the catalogue 
data and I'll send along the whereabouts of the specimens when I can. Most 
of the Sand Island birds came back with Jim,
