fiv* copies of th® first two sections of the 
fi»id Guide were mailed off to you late last week. As I 
understand it, you are t© keep on® sat, one goes to the 
At Sea people, one to the Phoenix Island group, one to 
Sand-Johns ton, and on® t© Kur® <• 
M, ¥® u ®* n find tlm® to look this water!*! over 
I as* sup«/ffliight want to make a few additions or deletions. 
I »w thinking particulerly ©f th® *Inf©r»ati©n Needed* 
s«© vion ©f th* Specie® loQounti, I have put in * few of 
th® more ©bviou* type® of information w® need, and 1 am 
sure you ©am add some- ©f ®ur more detailed needs.

sections on out to you, then you could return them, and

1 think this last treatment would apply only to 
shearwaters, petrels, boobies, tropiebirdg, and' soma of
