1964 Kenagalein Atoll, Marshall Is.
Meyers is a security officer interested
in the local fish. He is working with
a fish pond that now contains about 46
species, and has plans for aquariums and
shell displays. The pond is a ditch-like
affair, 3 feet deep and quite clear. If
one is patient he can probably see most
of the species present in it.
Nov 6. Improv. After catching up on field
notes yesterday I caught up on letters
today. Rain nearly all day.
Brinion: I took a taxi to The dump
and set out rat traps after supper.
Bearing - 100 → 85 → 6? → 86 → 121 → 123 good
Nov 7 - ? Reaching sleep, I guess.
Nov 8. The others went off in the raft
to Nath koi Island after fish, primarily,
and birds. I took a taxi up to the
dump, picked up the rat traps, cleaned
up Lab 2 (shining). Was pleasantly
surprised at not finding the expected
Nodwit and out-trapped species under the
accumulated debris. Stained a Booty Ten -
turned out better than any of my other
skins.
The raft returned in mid afternoon
with a packed drum of fish and
2 Common Nodwits, 3 Hawaiian, 1 Fairy Ten.
