C.G. LORAN Station, Sand I., Johnston Atoll During mid-afternoon I picked fauna from the Common Noddy nest Berlese sample. An important find was the presence of Argasid ticks and chiggers (2 species probably). Also Orbatoidae, Acaridae, Laeloptidae (Hypoaspinae) Cheyketudae, Tydidae and a few unknown mites were found. Among insects were 1 unidentified beetle, and Cusculioidae, Fornicidae, various larvae, "Sorubugs", and Diptera larvae. A nest sample from Wedge-tailed Shearwater burrows was placed in the Belese funnel. During the afternoon Ken opened no. 5 bands to use on Wedge-tailed Shearwaters tonight. We viewed "Bird Man of Alcatraz" and planned to band birds afterwards but had to heavy rain we canceled the night work.
