Botanical work on the various ATI trips has consisted mainly of collecting 
and comm©nt^on“ v di s t r ibut i on * abundance and flowering in the jornals* 
Some of this information has been summarized in the various reports of 
the trips * hut most of the information on distribution* etc*, is scattered 
through the notes and needs interpretation by the original writer• As a 
result the information collected helow is hy no means SiMStfitl a complete 
summary of facts collected hy the Pacific Project* Lack of time and incompleteness 
of the information does not seem to warrent further efforts to extract 
data from the journals* 
First ATF Trip (Feh.-March, 1963 )t Plant specimens collected on 
Lays an* Lisiansky* Pearl & Hermes* Howlnnd and Baker Islands* Du© to poor 
preservation none of these specimens 
were ever identified* However familiarity of project personnel with the 
plants and potographs taken it on this trip enabled us to 
transfer information about distribution* etc* to identified plants collected 
on the June-July trip* 
Second ATF Trip (June-July* 1963)s Plant specimens collected on 
French Frigate Shoals* Pearl and Hermes Beef* Howland* Baker and Fnderhury 
Islands* All except the succulents were later identified although there is 
some question on the accuracy of identification helow genus* See attached 
field catalog and summary from preliminary trip report. 
Third ATF Trip (Oct-Hov, 1963)I Plants collected on Baker* Gardner*and 
Sydney*Islands® List maintained on plants observed on all islands with 
comments on distribution* and stage of reproduction® On the wetter islands 
(Gardner* Hull and Sydney) and Canton no attempt was made to list all the 
introduced and cultivated plants and list from these islands are very 
incomplete* See attached plant catalog and list of plants on McKean* 
Phoenix and Birnie plus additions or corrections to the list given for 
Baker Island in the June^July report*
