kear Brian: 
I hop© that everything is running e-nobhaljr there at ?T8 and you 
and:. re mating (grant numbers of good returns, I hope tha ho 
atom th't t#ent south i t he h on the other typewritter Just broke) 
of the main Hawaiian* didn’t affect the FFS operations. I know what 
rain and wind can do there at FFS. 
Hie Program badly needs some close-up pictures of ticks feeding 
9 n birds. We especially need some of Ixodes . I had planned to take 
some of Ixodes in June, but found none to photograph. I did find, 
them attached to boobies, tropicbirds and noddies (mainly chicks of 
these) last August, but failed to photograph any of them. The Ixodes 
normally attach to the he and neck of their hosts, but will attach 
to other areas. If you find any of these I would greatly appreciate 
photographs showing the® attached to the host. 
Please give my regards to Bob, Lt. Bates and the CG crew. Ask 
Lane (one of the El's)if he still wants an east coast newspaper. I 
just remembered that he asked me to send him one. 
Best regards.
