Dear Jane: 
It looks more and more like the air strike won't really be settled for another 
week or so. It will take them quite a while to get things rolling smoothly again 
.once they have started flying. In view of this we have pulled the Newell's 
Shearwaters out of the shipment that has been waiting here and have packed them 
up for Pat Gould, these will be air mailed out of here this afternoon. They are 
packed in a double box arrangement and the McBee cards have been included. The 
box is addressed to you* 
I just started checking through Rich Heiden's band|ng records and found that 
I had an error in some previous records (I thinkO. He reports the series 712-09101- 
09/200 on Bulwer's Petrels from Nihoa. I had previously carried this series as being 
ied on McKean Island in April 1966. But checking back I am pretty certain this 
a /series should have been 712-08101 since all of the bands on both side of this series 
y ere used on McKean in April 1966. rt ill you please check the xk schedules and see 
if 712-09101 has been reported and then run it down in the green memo books (which 
were mailed out of here a few days ago). I have changed things so that 712-08101 is 
reported from McKean and 712-09101 is reported from Nihoa. 
This listing is much larger than I want it to be but there isn't anything I can 
do about it. As long as poeple insist on breaking their strings down and making 
35 /or so entries per string of 100 bands the listing will be difficult to work up. 
ain trying very hard to cut down on the number of strings that are broken up as many 
of these are. 
Could I please have eight copies of this listing. Once these are received I 
will send copies to both Sand-3ohnston and Kure from out here. I would like very much 
to have the copies back here before the next SIC trip departs around September U-5* 
I had hoped to get these sheets to you sooner but Chuck's request for totals arrived 
and than more and more banding records came in and I kept adding onto them. The 
listing is now up-to-date for Sand—Johnston and Kure and all other activities but the 
SIC trip through jfaagax July 15. 
Hope all is well back there. Regards to all.
