K. A. Freeman 1964 Bikini Atoll, Marshall Islands After the rain stopped we poisoned the coral heads in front of camp and collected the fish. Many I have seen at Sand Johnston, but some were new. conspicuously absent were the huna, huna and black triggerfish. A few new butterfly species appeared in the pile. About 45 species in all; grandly, beautiful beyond belief. After supper we went after blood gariples. Only 3 Brown Boobies were present, in contrast to the dozen or so the night before. Perhaps they have moved to one of the other islands or to the rocks along the reef. Only 5 samples obtained. Oct 16. Another shower during the day. light rain in the morning 1000. We broke camp To Jaboeruhy Island at Jaboces on it. The island has only Betel nut vine on it. There is corals on the shore, and a sand flat where the Terns. We wandered the few palms on the island to shoot it. Arrived at 9 a.m. and all in camp on the the two adjacent islands.
