bird + crab tracks in the sand. No rabbit
tracks, and not many dead animals (birds +
shell-fish remains) on the beach.
July 19, 1969 - 4 km ENE Ocurusa, Dpt. Lim Pen
[illegible]
Note on the grid in trio to see 3 kinds
of birds go overhead - Carol identified them.
The started in on more invertabls counts. The
slope of the grid toward the road seems to have
fewer Hygromas than does the area where
Carol + I did our "circle" sample. Spiders
seen everywhere. In our count last night
we seemed to be finding more spiders than in
our first counts, but OP consistently found more
than anyone else. The ones I saw mainly
seemed to be on sandy areas near Jella-bra,
but occasionally sitting on top of the dead Till.
Trying to figure out the flowering of
Till, and to be sure there's only one species
here. Relatively few of the green ends are
going to flower soon; it appears (maybe 5%?).
Some that are nice star-shaped flats are
putting up a forkish scape which may be as
high as 10 cm, looking a little like a snowy
asparagus tip. Others, with split heads, seem
to occasionally put out a "flower-feather"
singly, or in very small clusters coming right out of
an axilla. i.e., [illegible] "flor-feather"
with no rachis, or stalk
evident.
