Amerson, B. 1963 Several Masked Boobies were nesting on Little Gin and Glack-footed (sub-adult) Chicks wer banded. A few common Noddies were nesting. Seals and turtles 10 - 15 were present. The turtles were laying eggs. The island has no vegetation. We then went South looking for Disappearing Island by following the reef. We soon saw it and had no difficulty getting ot it. Two Brown Boobies were sitting on the island as were also Masked Boobies. Seals and trutles were also present. The swells around the island were quite bad and the rubber boat had to be held constantly. The island looks as drawn: Landing 1 000 ft. 150 ft. Disappearing Island
