K.C. Ammann 1964 Manana Is., Oahu May 2 L. Huber, R. Long and K. Ammann set out in the rubber raft 1645. We encountered greater difficulty than we had in going to Mobula the day before, due to cross currents and 3' swells. Finally arrived in the churning surf 1800. Hoy began collecting plants and soil samples in a transect across the crater while I made observations and population estimates and Huber began banding Sooties. All of us banded from 7:30 to 12, then Huber and I or through till 6 A.M. We departed 7 A.M. The Sooties occupied a broad belt across the vegetation on the landward side. They extended from the soil- or rock- band junction about halfway up the slopes, in some cases further up than this on ridges. They did not occur above or to any extent among the tobacco plants. Many were also distributed around the crater rim, some on tame rock and some in grass clumps. Noddies were found in two main areas — on the inside of the crater wall above the line of solid vegetation and at the base of the wall. They
