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.
