K. Am Cuman 1964 Taka Ritol, Marshall Islands Noddies and a few Common Noddies. Our 3 estimates of Fairy Terns and Hawaiian Noddies ranged from 2000-3500 and 500-1000, respectively. Two Red-tailed Tropicbirds were seen in the air. Both noddies were nesting, with eggs + chicks. No fairy tern nests were seen and no boobies or fugates were found with the exception of 1 Brown flying past Eluk + 3 Browns roosting on Boken. Found the first butterflies of the trip on Eluk. I thought at first there were two species but Roger says it is only sexual dimorphism. One sex is purplish with a bluefish-white spots on each wing; the other is brown, red-brown + white and reminds me of the admiral group or a painted lady. New plants: [illegible] - another low upright plant and a broadleaf tree. The latter is possibly Terminalia. In the afternoon we all visited Taka Doland for about 5 hours. It is by far the most pleasant and picturesque island we have yet visited, more what one envisions as his surroundings when first entertaining thoughts of [illegible] the Project. About half of it is planted to coconuts which are harvested for copia by the natives from [illegible] Stoll
