The pair of Sula leucogaster Eall found is incubating 2 eggs on a nest 
of cry Sesuvium stems on the ground on the edge of a scattered colony of 
/ 
S. cyanops. In every way they resemble S. cyanops with a black stocking 
pulled over head and neck. Feet greenish. Irides, The nest was on the 
ground just ouch a situation as S. cyanops but differs from latter's 
in being built into at least a semblance of a platform. Apparently just 
this one pair on the island. 
Took 4 Man-o'-war birds from a colony among the rocks. They seemed 
loath to take to the air from their sheltered nook and allowed us to pick’them 
off the nest. Took a of, $ & imm. $ in the white-headed, brown throated 
plumage of imm. Also took another 9.for a skeleton. 
Picked up an injured Sterna lunata and will make a skin of it. 
Schlemmer sneaked up on a curlew asleep in shelter of a rock & picked 
him up in his hands. In fact all birds collected today have been picked 
up with only a bare or at most gloved hand for weapon, and then etherized.
