f March 20, 1963 - Wirtz: "In wandering about the island we have now found 4 cat skulls i 
in one place in the ravines, one in the metal "building, one in a 
stone "building, a kitten in a well, and 2 were in the lighthouse 
-hess animals had "been dead for different lengths of time, as 
indicated "by the weathering of the skulls, especially the four 
togeather in the ravines. .......Bhe stomachs we have looked in 
have had sooty tern chicks in them. One female shot this afternoon

total killed to 5. Bhese have all been adults of 3 males and 
2 females. We are missing a young tabby we have seen before, and also 
a black and white one. 11 
“Matt and I looked for cats again, spotted two more, but did not 
get them. 11 
J March 21, 1963 - Wirtz: “Matt went up to the north end of the island tonight 
and shot 5 more cats 2 M S 1 F and saw 2 more later in the 
evening. About 2430 Bob saw one behind the furthest east deny, 
vw building, and about the same time Binion saw one near the 
sooty Bern colony. With all the holes and rock hedges around 
the island it is hard to tell how many cats may be on the 
island, as it is certainly easy for them to evade in. We haven*t 
seen any during the day since the first day, and at night we see 
their eyes frequently far ahead of us
