Air: 
Upon swimming into the beach on this morning*, it 
was very evident that the area was not suitable for 
running a station-so began to check the outside 
area and foundthat most of it was also without 
coral-the only section have any at all was near 
the center outside portion of the island-hence 
this area was chosen. 
The following are considered pertinent re¬ 
garding this station: (a) eels were notable for 
their absence-for the Apodal ftrms were only 
in number as compared with ishes collecteal 
Could it be possible that eel's are particularly 
susceptable to radioactivity-this point should 
be carefully checked at future stations, (b) 
Needlefish and halfbeaks were very abundant, but 
very few were collected as a result of the pizon; 
(c)the Acanthurid with the orange bar extending 
back from the opercle was in the area, but it is 
not believed that any were in the collection.
