Roosting and nesting birds were scattered over Scaevola and in ironwoods. 
(RBC summ) 500 + There birds had small colonies in ScaevOla 
and a colony in the Casuarina on the west beach. In the Casuarina more birds 
were sitting on empty nests than on eggs (about a 6-t ratio) One egg broken 
to check stage of incubation was fresh. (RBC-Mar.12) Hawaiian Eoddies are 
quite abundant on the island* nesting in fairly large numbers (2000?) in the 
low Scaevola and isolated Casuarina trees. I checked the nests in one 
Casuarina and all nests contained either eggs (One examined contained a small 
embryo) or were empty. 
(DLS summ) About 50-75^ of the population are on active 
nests. Vin Hoeman found k or 5 chicks. They were nesting in the Casuarina 
trees. There were nesting colonies in Scaevola bushes all over the island. 
Population ; 2*000 + 1*000. The way they were scattered out I have no real 
idea of the population.
