DRIBLETS FROM THE DROPPINGS FROM THE EAGLE' S ROOST 
This is how things are today: March 29, 19&5 
MAX IS BACK 
ROGER IS BACK 
Marianna is working straight through day and night at the 
contracts office so she's NOT BACK 
Mary took a week's leave and got sick so she's not NOT BACK 
Ann’s mother is here so she's NOT BACK 
Linda is typing the new contract - so she's not ALL THREE 
Jane is messing up things by trying to answer three phones 
at once so she' s not ALL THERE 
Do you lonely lonely field men get the picture????Things are going 
their nor mal smooth way here and confusion reigns supreme. 
Roger was briefly reached on the other side and he gave 
out the following information by phone to Jane - if there are any 
mistakes in it, it's his fault for not coming over to write this 
himself. 
Southeast was fabulous - identifications have not been made 
but the following are believed to have been collected: a Knot in 
a pool. A Sunlin. 3 dead gulls, one of which may turn out to be 
a Laughing and the other Kitliwakes. 
At^aysan a believed-to-be Glaucous-winged Gull was seen. 
At Lisianski three believed-to-be Glaucous Gulls were collected and 
two more of the same were collected on Pearl and Hermes Reef. These 
are being prepared in Honolulu. Still on Lisianski two Black- 
bellied Plovers were collected and back to Laysan-two phalaropes were 
collected. They appear to be Northern. A Laysan-Blackfoot hybrid 
was collected but the note-taker can't remember on which island (Roger, 
you'll have to send another installment next week and correct all 
the mistakes.) 
Dr Ely has relayed the following messagejb' Moses originally 
gave it out as the Commandment which begins: "Thou shalt have none 
other gods but me". There is no Bible here to check this reference 
against and maybe it ends this way. Anyway, no graven images or 
other gods allowed from now on in. 
Binion is throwing a wild party for Marianna on the 10th of 
April - Hawaiian-style. As far as we can gather now he's moving the 
next day into a new apartment over in Maryland - wonder if there is 
extradition between the District and Maryland?? Binion says the 
Mallophaga from the Wandering Albatross were immatures and could not 
be identified - collect more in the future, please, so that there will 
be adults among them.
