Jan has been occupied with other things this semester and its Ismmt 
made quite a difference in my output. Sharing secretaries doesn't 
work any better here than in DC. Enough bitching. I'll see if I have 
any other items of this type. 
12 . I can find no references to turtles in the green books for 
either Laysan or Lisianski. So far as I know, no turtle counts were 
made on either island. I saw NO turtles on either island but did hear 
some of the Navy chaps talk about a female that was supposed to be 
laying on the west side of Lisianski near the FWS sign. Didn't Dave 
go over for a picture? I made half the shorebird count on Laysan and 
saw no turtles. I saw none on Lisianski during several circuits after 
shorebirds. 
I. Included is a copy of the tagged seal# data from the trip 
which I extracted while checking for turtle data. Sent the other copy 
to RLP.

II. Good luck on the "Additions . .. and "Swain' s papers. Do you 
sometimes have the feeling that writing is the simplest part of pre¬ 
paring a publication? Well, you seem to get along with George better 
than most of us. 
III. My Leeward slides will be leaving Monday noiy, and I'll leave 
it up to you to screen them and duplicate^whatever ones you think are 
needed. Then would you please pass them/on to Lamoureux? I'm writing 
him today too to try and get some of the misunderstandings and foul- 
ups straightened out. The slides that I took DO NOT duplicate those 
he, Butler, et . al . took earlier. I did take a series of '’landscapes" 
at the north end of the island which may be of help to him. However, 
I also left the south end for the "next" morning and so did not get 
them taken. 
IV. Still have lh days before my colleagues return so if I can 
get next week's lectures finished tonight will get back to Laysan. 
It's a bit frightening to see the time flashing by so rapidly. I 
suspect that the pressur on you is building more and more rapidly 
also. When it gets too bad, just say to hell with it, and set up 
nets for a few days. Hope that Tina is feeling better.
