G. G. Loran Station, Sand Island, Johnston Island Atoll I then killed the bird and gave it to Chief Gragosian. He obtained the spleen from each bird. We processed thirty before stopping at 12:30. We did all our work on a wooden crate. It served as an excellent workbench. Shipping boxes were brought over. August 16, 1963 Processed blood samples during the morning. The used centrifuge tubes were washed and sterilized for use tonight. During the afternoon I discovered a new bird on the island. We tentatively identify it as a Lesser Yellowlegs. Tonight we processed thirty-two more Wedge-tailed Shearwaters. August 17, 1963 Processed blood samples and cleaned up centrifuge tubes. Saw Lesser Yellowlegs again near the "dump" area. Processed twenty-four Wedge-tails before the rain drove us in. Saw White tailed Tropicbird again. August 18, 1963 Processed blood samples and cleaned up tubes. The Station's yeoman shot and collected the Lesser Yellowlegs with the Station's twelve gauge shotgun. I froze the specimen and will send it back with Mr. Miller's sera. Processed the nine remaining Wedgetails to finish out our hundred samples. Wrote Progress Report (third) but didn't have time to type it.
