Stebbins, R. 1963 168 Ocean Trip Kuala Lumpur Feb. 4 I was informed that there were no large colonies of the fruit-eating bats around Kuala Lumpur but that smaller species roosted in trees. However, their fly out at night was not spectacular. The swifts (Apis sp.? ) has undergone a population explosion because of the ideal nesting sites provided by the overhang of buildings. Such overhangs are rare in nature. This is near J Medway. Fortunately, Medway is a thin, manor-faced Britisher in his late 20s or early 30s. His student Wells is working on breeding cycles in equatorial birds and he is familiar with Allen Miller's work. Wells is trying to perfect the laparotomy technique. I described the gecko seen in my bathroom and the group decided it was the common gecko about buildings. # Winnie Chien, Dept. of Zoology, Univ. of Singapore, Singapore 10, was present. In the afternoon Dart and I return to Sutter's office and he continued filling us in on the educational picture. Mr. Aria Nazzam is the Chief Educational Adviser. He was trained at Harvard
