McKean - new specimen - a "long dead, beach dried" Sooty Shearwater was 
found by Huber. Also there were large numbers of the nymphalid butterfly, Hypo - 
limnas bolina, which had not been recorded during earlier POBSP visits. Banding 
2542, 231 returns, 19 specimens collected. 
Baker - the men were only on Baker for three hours and nothing startlingly 
new appears to have been noticed there (this may be my misinterpretation so apolo 
gies to Roger if I've left out deathless prose). 
We had a drinks and supper party for Chuck and Jan Ely last night at the 
Church's new apartment in Washington (picked because of convenience to S.I.). 
We’re not a very large group here now but we were a lively one - Jan now wears 
(or presumably will wear) a gold pin with matching earrings and Chuck can correct 
papers in two colors of ink from an onyx pen stand which should cost a pretty 
penny in overweight baggage charges'. We had "With Appreciation - P.O.B.S.P. - 
1963 - 1966" on it - it makes it harder to pawn, of course, but a little more 
personal. Everyone made it in to work eventually but it was slower for some 
than others - rumor has it that Jan Reese is here but he must be (appropriately) 
over in the alcoholic room on the other side'.
