Of 25 birds handled 21 were adults and of these 
13 were females and 8 males. In addition an 
unbanded male was seen abofe the cut-bank at 
the E end of the island and an unhandled bird 
was seen in the club at the south end (possibly 
the same bird). The breeding birds were found 
in two low Ipomea covered openings in the south

On the afternoon of the 20th and the morning of the 21st I counted 15 
Brown Boobies roosting on the reef rocks of the east side of the island. 
Fourteen were adults and one was an immature or subadult. During my noc¬ 
turnal survey of the island perimeter I found none roosting in other areas 
No one in the survey party visited the breeding area in the southwest 
interior of the island where nests were found in September 1967- Hence, I 
do not know whether any of the birds seen were breeding or not.
