FRIGATE BIRD: 
One stomach received and examined. Only cephalopod beaks were found, 
however, a wide range of other animals such as heteropods, gastropods and 
cladocera were found. The FRIGATE BIRD was captured on June 17, 1964. 
There were received a number of specimens labelled "data to follow" which 
on examination revealed the usual fish , squid or cephalopod beaks. Another 
group was labelled G.W. 1~4> these stomachs were quite different in appearance 
and findings. They were very thick walled, and redish brown in color. They 
resemble chicken gizzards. These "stomachs" contained numerous stones. Among 
the stones were found gastropods, forams and bryzoans. Most of the specimens 
were in very good condition. Small seeds were also found in these "stomachs". 
The identity of the seeds is not known, but the same kind of seeds was found 
in all stomachs.
