P. De Benedetti's 1964 17 Jan. On board "Golden Bear" off S. Baja Calif. Mex. Flies very stiff-winged and glides a lot. Not much else until the meeting nearly began. The session this A.M. was much more interesting than usual; got away from the biogeography and started discussion of some of the problems of the islands. After the session saw 2 beach Petrels flying along side the boat. Dr. Du later come back and said he had seen Petrels and shearwaters from the bow. Went forward and eventually saw about 15 beach Petrels. They were usually in open groups, 3-5 together, with scattered single birds near by, and the flocks 10-15 minutes apart. One Manx Shearwater from along side; The beach Petrels are mostly clear white rumped [illegible], one with a divided rump patch [illegible] and one with a brown rump [illegible] and shows a tanish bar on the greater secondary coverts. The flight is very light, with deep (9 inches) [illegible] beats + glides with down-beat wings; circle about aloft. I remind me of Cliff Swallows visibly. Almost no zooplankton [illegible] and only 1 or 2 flying fish. After lunch about 10 beach Petrels following the boat, crossing the wake frequently. They feed very infrequently, settling brief[ly] on the water with the wing up [illegible] and sit only for 2-3 seconds. They often come over to investigate but seldom land; usually they do when there are orange peels with -by their throats. Don't eat the peels, but [illegible] be after something attached to the orange peels. When they pass over the coarse coasts

14 Jan on board "Golden Bear" of Baja Calif., Suv, Mex. They seem to dip down much in the manner of a swallow gathering mud or drinking. If they are feeding they seem to be taking something kicked up by the propellers. From the bow saw a group of 7 white rumped reach Petrels and 2 petrels which sat on the water with wings folded down, floating high on the water. Saw 3-4 jellyfish. By about 8 PM there were 20+ petrels, all reach following the boat. The afternoon symposium was short and got up about 3:30. There was a great cloud of 50+ petrels following the boat, but 1 reache's. A Black Petrel which offered good comparison. The wing beats are much deeper, and they tend to glide quite rapidly between separate wing strokes and longer between bouts of strokes. They stay much further back from the boat than the reach's, which came within 50-75 feet. The size difference is very conspicuous. From the bow saw 2 Booty Terns, which I first identified as a Trugubrid, circling high over the horizon & then flew off to the W as we approached. Didn't get a good look. Also saw 3-8 porpose, uniforue dark olivaceou [drawing of dolphin], slightly lighter below. moving N & paid no attention to the boat. When I went back to the rear of the boat about 4:30 only, about 10-20 Petrels following. They seem to have two sorts of wing beats, a deep, arch [drawing of wings] body lengths, and a high arc [drawing of wings], which were given more rapidly as the bird turned and dropped (after food). Couldn't

P. De Benedictis 1964 25 16 Jan. On board "Golden Bear" off Southern Myrtle, got up about 6:30. A warm, humid, sunny day, scattered, low fluffy white cumulus clouds + little wind. Looks like everyone will get burned today! About 6:45 spotted 3 of the brown colored boobies flying along side the boat stayed with the boat for about 10 minutes. Uniform, princess - a little darker than the second one. About 7 or nine adult Red-billed Tropic birds showed up over the boat and stayed for a while - about 5 minutes. later a bird with a white step and all white - primaries appeared. No noose mark but black about thighs. Feet & legs black, bill white. The tailed bird cackled a few times, a short and explosive, rough, high-pitched "nyock!" Also saw a small dark petrel, square or fork tailed, which flew with a rapid low low wingbeat and much less gliding; stayed off the bow for several minutes. Ate at 7:45 about 9:30 saw 3 boobies far out and 3 close in. The rocky birds dropped their feet showing the red-socks, so they are Red-footed, all brown (black-tailed) phase. About minute later we saw 3 (2 act. + the white bird) Tropic birds together. The white bird calls a rough, insolent high pitched "urrnock" a little lower than the adults. Stayed until about 7:15 although the adults disappeared sooner. About 8:15 found a Dominique Jaeger, immature, flying fairly high along the boat, and 2 more Red- footed Boobies, brown phase. About 18:20 - 8:25. About 8:30 2 adult Red-billed Tropic birds appeared and

It is about 25% larger than the Santa Cruz form, darker; legs are deeper red and show less on the face. Saw one small striped Dromicus about 10 escaped in the lava. Lava here is of two types. One has the corr gluing appearance of dried [illegible], and is solid and easy to walk on. The other is soft, glossy sounding, crumbles and is very difficult to cross. Tears up one's shoes and trousers rapidly. Finches are very restricted and shy; most seem to be G. fuliginosa. Saw one feeding on the trail, legs, and along the crest of an Ambly rhynchus. ? taking ticks or perhaps shed scales and salt them on. The mockingbirds here are much smaller than on Santa Cruz, esp. at the bird, and troated white on the wings and rump. Saw wing flashing in one foraging on the ground under a mangrove separately; didn't seem to be catching much. Went up to the Harle's nest, a large pile of sticks on the ground. When Dr. Miller climbed up to it, 2 of the birds attacked him, striking him on the hat, softly. The same bird made several passes, while the other bird soared overhead. Both cawed, a short descending "ngahhhh," high pitched and reminiscent of B. lineatus but softer, and a series of shorter mono-pitched "ngah" notes. Later saw the two birds on top of a deadish mangrove, one bird in the mounted position. One egg in the nest, greenish

Yellow Warblers singing, sea lions barking and producing other sick-sounding vocalizations. A pair of doves showed up in camp and feed for a while at the edges of the mangroves. wouldn't eat the oatmeal I left out last night. Nothing else took it either. Feel worse. Variable clouds, clearing up in the A.H. Saw a few Geospiza and 1-2 mockingbirds. Water birds much as yesterday. After breakfast went down to wash my utensils; an octopus came out of its burrows to attack the small fish attracted to food scraps, but it didn't catch any. 4 types of fish are obvious in the pools, one a pretty deep blue one with a red back. Watched cormorants from 7:20 to nine. lots of Puffins + Sula nebouxii flying past the point + a few petrels and noddies. A Semipal. Plover and a pair of

Will stay in bed most of the day. Stomach gassy, like flu. Don't eat much. Not much happening here. Dr. Miller feels the comment watch is done - and I wouldn't have been any help anyway. Only yellow warblers singing, and this in lagoon. A lot of them and the finches go way out on the lava to feed. Saw Finches on the iguana again yesterday, and almost everyone else has also. Miller, Carpenter, and Ortiz (an Ecuadorian Student) have captured Dromicus. About noon a hawk came into camp and landed on the mangrove. Saw a dove. Large #s of Frigate Birds (all one size, it's magnificent). were circling over the pool Walker poisoned 2 days ago, with 2-3 Brown Pelicans. Camp area is on a sandy (coarse sand) beach on a lava point at SW (SW?) corner of Fernandina. The lava near the camp is black, porpy, and easy to traverse. Much brotten up by tubes and many pools (all tidal) extend to atleast 1/4 mile inland and many of these have mangroves around them. Sealions move into these at high tide, and most contain fish, red land crabs, and Marine Iguanas. Cormorants are dispersed along the coast as are green herons, but perquins are conc. mostly south of the point in more rocky areas. There is a Frigate Bird roost in the mangroves here, (not us today, or shea...) In concentrations on shore. Large #s pass off shore.
Page 163
De Benediclis 1964 59 28 Jan. Pt. Espinoza, Fernandina Island, Galapagos most of the boobies are Blue-foot (c. 97%). Marine Iguanas can climb, go out to feed at low tide and come on the high rocks at high tide. Most in edicosis. Tropidernus is fairly common on the lava, it's larger and darker than on Santa Cruz, and also mostly in edicosis. It's much smaller than the it's. Have not seen any geckos, but have seen some 4-6" Tropidermus. Several large flies and a large odonate (?Tantetrium) are common but no mosquitos. Spiders fairly numerous. Very little song except Yellow warbler and white notes from the rockers. Tattlers and Tunstone make as much noise. In the evening 2 Sooty Gulls came over the camp as we were eating but this went on. Am reading The great Prince Shan by E. Phillips Oppenheim (a bomb - Jun. 30) to pass the time away. I Get very tired whenever I get up for more than 5 a hour or so. Clear and sunny in the A.M., then clouded up with feebly strong wind in the P.M. Yesterday at noon, Dr. Amador had a large Nikon camera that no one could figure out how to use. Today Dr. Miller located a Cormorant nest with a 1/2 grown young, got very wet went to bed young only again. 29 Jan. wake-up about 6 A.M overcast and windy, looks like it may stay that way today. Not much to do; feel a little better but still weak today. Still soft, somewhat upset in the gut. Ate better than before. Tried to tramp about a little but got tired quickly. Saw a Sooty gull feeding on the rocks at low tide. Taking some sort of invertibrate apparently. At least 2 Grosbeigas singing and several Black Fuliginose appeared in camp.

P. De Benedetti 1964 27 Sun Pt. Espinosa, Fernandina Island, Galapagos. Kiesler caught a [illegible] with an empty stomach. Amazon's hawks have apparently deserted and he is having much trouble with his study. Dr. Uringer is industriously beating casuarinas and Dr. Miller is winding up on the comorants. Lots were finches about than usual, saw about 10 in camp area in 20+ on the low tide vertical area N of the camp. Most seem to be fuliginosa. Saw a dark tinging sandpiper with dark legs, white side to the tail, size of a stattle. Probably a Solitary Sandpiper but didn't get a good enough look at it to be certain. It was on the shore but flew back into the mangroves when disturbed. Green Herons very tame here. Saw 2 finches feeding in the crevices in the lava, much like rock wrens. One was fuliginosa, the other had a longer beak but same size and markings. ? maybe just a long beaked fuliginosa. Since most of the other thing I have planned have failed, I will try to do some collecting now. Not much doing in the afternoon. Everyone planning to go to Tages Cove on Isabella. Beginning to feel bad again. About 4 had severe chills, shivering inside my sleeping bag when everyone else was warm, then a fever. Took some Aspirin and aspirin. Hope it works. Saw finches working on the iguanas just outside the tent. Didn't eat dinner. Dr. Miller caught 2 mice this evening and put them up. Dave Pearson moved into the tent (where I have been staying since sick) and things are really crowded now. About 9 there was a sudden short shower. Peterson panicked and moved into the tent for the night as well must have been really uncomfortable. Didn't get too sleep until midnight.

Miller got 3 more mice which I put up as skins and (2) pt. and (1) complete skeletons. Everyone but Boyd Walker and Ted Holson left for Tague cove about 7; it is a great relief to do something beside lounge around uselessly, even if my skins are cunning. About 8:30 as I [illegible] de-veating the J's skeleton 2 min. Doodled gulls came in and landed on the other side of the cove. I went over and saw both wild and cal. fuliginos, they are smaller (1-2"), have white under parts, brown hooded of head and slight brown breast. Mantle as the bird described 27 Jan; secondaries + in 3-4 primaries white tipped. B:ll black. Tail with black band (various) to outer feather. Same so the 27th birds and suspect they are 1/2 year laughing gulls. Didn't see much else until about 1:30 when done well everything. It is quite a job to save a mouse skin + cove. shell; good thing I have lots of mice. About then noted a large group of frigate birds off the mangrove S of the tent; saw several chases, one M+?, one 3F's, in which the birds flew, one over the other, flapping slowly (not unusually so) and jabbing at each other. The M did not infate his gular sac. altho it was conspicuous, and the F tended to stay above. This pair did this for 2-3 minutes, moving 400 yards of the main flock, in an erotic, spiralin (∞∞∞) flight. The 3Fs stayed together for only 1/2 minute. They and Pelicans, and Brobies and O. gracilis are after fish walked presence. Also 3 gulls, the two described above (presumably) and an adult Franklin'
Page 171
P. DeBenedictis 1964 30 Jan Pt. Espinoza, Fernandina Island, Galapagos. All the returning party was beat. Miller got a penguin (pickup) and several passerines, Singer lots of bugs. Carpenter & Kiehl each got a Phylodactyle. Spent the evening in a discussion of the pros and cons of Tazuo and the role of scientists in politics (rib). Lots of bugs, including a plain brown tiger beetle, came to the camp. Feel very good and have a good appetite. 31 Jan beautiful A.M. Frizel's scanning over the lagoon just W. of camp. Decided to finally get a few pictures and tramp around and see the rest of the point area. During breakfast the Franklin's Gull showed up for a little while started out to the convenant coast + got 3 pictures and a couple of the Iguana rock covered with lizards. Not much else around. No boobies today. Worked then to the N of camp along the shore. Saw 1 or 2 Zenipal flowers and several Tunn-tour and tattlers. An Oystercatcher was feeding in a rock crevice and I saw it take a large (6" W.) polychaet worm from the crevice. It would only allow a 30+ ft. approach and was silent. Not many seals here so worked back towards the camp, capturing a large P Tropidurus which I got 2 pictures. It was dark above and very orange below when captured, and 1st developed white-cream spots on all the dorsal scales, then lost those and developed a dark throat. It is about as bright as any D's deer. Bob pattern is as Carpenter described, normally ~~~ but somewhat ~~~ or so. # of bob sexes about 1 to 3, now 3. Feed actively on very small prey. F's are only about half + size. Bob ~ in same way.

Most activity in the open (tossed) in A.M and in P.M. Got into comp again about 11. Dr. Miller was working out a Penguin and several Brown Pelicans, Frigatebirds, and a few Oceniles and a h. fuliginosa had come in. 2 Penguins and a Cormorant feeding off the reef. Dr. Miller shot 7 Petrels and a Oystucatcher off the Pt. Got a picture of this. Consider it most remarkable. One of the Ocenile came very close in and I could see the foot action the leg is dropped down and back c. 45° and the foot is move back and out about 2/sec., for 1/2 to 1 sec. Saw one pick up a small scrap of meat from the penguin. Most of the time they don't seem to catch much. One was pulling, then plopped belly into the H₂O, then flew off. didn't see what it got.

Stomach full of a white fluid, a pink globe, and black spots. This appears to be eggs and body of a minute soft bodied shipworm, with few appendages. Although Halobate was common in one of the logoom over which they were feeding, no remains were in any of the stomachs. After lunch Skinned one of the Petrels and then went out on the lava with Dave Reichmann. Finally clouded up and an nice breeze came in. The tide is high now, but uses the same area I visited in the A.M. Looks dike a lake with peninsulas of lava jutting in the water. The tropidug, have been forced out of the lake beds and are up on the rocks.

P. DeBenedictis 1964 81 Jan. Punta Espinosa, Fernandina Island, Galapagos. Mostly small animal and no fighting. Far out in the lava saw a dragonfly feeding on gnats flying over the fissure which appeared dry. Found several scattered groups of bird bone and two small Oryzomyx jaws with one tooth (309) in it. These pile as far in as we went (c. 1/4-1/2 mile from camp). A white stone seems to be sulfure dripping from the lava. Bone pile don't look like recent pellets but rather [illegible] of bones. Saw a grasshopper c. 100 yards from mangrove and Tropic. c. 50 yards. oil. Found a crater with a short upright plant growing in sulfur (not very tasty) puddles and algae. A faint green lichen on some of the cinder cone rocks. The gnats are fairly widespread and where they occur spider have built webs for them the spider is a small black species with 4 yellow lots on the abdomen : Walked back in along the mangrove squeaked up lots of Dendroica petechia and 1 worker. It feed in the forks and leaf litter under a mangrove, where they used to feed, probing into the spaces between rocks rather like a wren. No wing fluttering and lots of tail cocking. Stance very bright on the keys. Saw 2 yellow warblers come in from far out on the lava (25+ yards at least). Also saw one with a white fluffy nest material of unknown origin. A white clown-like tuft or seem floating in the weeds. No obvious seed? A small school of fish in or of the pools (longears, Horton had a yellowish long stripe, sliver below, would jump out in midair. Got back in camp about in time for dinner. At this time Dr. Bartholomew showed us an Oryzomyx nest located between 2 nearly vertical lava sheets c. 2" thick, about

The nest was mostly made of shredded plastic from our camp, with grass & stems like stems at the bottom than a dirt-like ledge. Not many obvious parasites. Nest c. 2" x 4" x 2" deep.

Same old world. 2 Marine Iguana eggs discovered in camp now. Two other notes. While coming in heard 3-4 times a cockerel-like fook fook fook fook, deep, 1 note deeper. ? Coccyzus. Never saw the animal. Saw a Hawk about noon near the garbage were for [illegible] dinner tonight. Didn't see it eat any of it. The Orizonys nest area contained many small bones outside, a little more dispersed, but otherwise like the piles out on the lava, and near the mangrove lots of very white mouse scat. Lots of insects came into the lamp tonight, including a green lacewing. Quit about 9. Drove in camp in the A.M. 1 Feb. woke up about 5. About 5:35 became aware of 2 Frigatebirds flying N from the mangroves. First aware of Yellow Warbler song by 5:38. Overcast and dark. Song sporadic at 1st, then more constant for a while, all away from camp area. Few scattered (6-8) Frigatebirds left. About 5:47 about 35

Few of a zimple Yellow Warble song than I heard earlier. 3 sw~ to do sw~ to do; 1 1/2 finches leaving the mangroves now. 6:23. Saw c 5" (total length) Tropiculus actius. Stopped at this Pt. A couple of Ad. haeus fuliginos showed up during breakfast and Brown Pelicans and Blue- fotted Boobies conspicuous today. Picked the baby Oizonyps. The nest site is kind dense, but is accessible by a lava fissure from the beach side. The fissure was in exposed lava 8 yards from the mangrove t about a few from the sandy beach. The crevice formed a sheltered runway to the mangroves. Little droppings near the nest but several scattered lower. The nest and crevice bottom is floored by fine sand, and littered by small bits of bone, possibly atoms from mangrove berries and leaves. A few mouse droppings while [illegible] in open places on the lava. 2-3 yds from the nest. The nest material earlier described as straw is strips of mangrove bark 1/8-1/4 in wide and 1-4 (mall 1 4 1/2") long largest piece of bark 2 1/2" long x 1/2" wide. from a fairly large branch, little indication of reuse of nest site, beyond mangroves beneath. A few nest material fragments below

Benedict's 1964 (69) 1 Feb. Punta Espinosa, Fernandina Island, Galapagos. The active nest, which contained a second live juvenile mouse. This was just 3-4 sticks on a pile of fine sandy humus, dry, as was the original nest. The site must have been reached through the passageway between the two vertical lava blocks. After presenting the 2nd mouse I went with Ross Kieste to see the Night Heron Nest. We stomped around in the lava for a while and finally found the nest under a low mangrove against a lava ledge above high tide level. Lots of tropicbirds here. The heron was nervous because of our presence (rest stayed on the nest). The bird is very small, hardly larger than a Green Heron, and very slim at the neck, quite unlike a Black-ci. We saw 2 birds in mangrove trees. Saw a striped young Green Heron. Went into a web up p. postler - a bittern pose with the bill horizontal. We then worked out to a large grove of Mangrove around a large lagoon, which was mostly inaccessible. The mangroves were 70'-30' high ( instead of less than 20'), and about 95 yards thick. We climbed into it sat for a while, then squeezed. Got in 3 Plumaged finches, one? Camarhynchus parvulus, a ? fuliginosa, and a ?G. difficilis, a brown headed, white bellied bird, spotted breast, buffy ring legs, bill > liberac short cactospiza. Same size as Fuliginosa or smaller. Miller shot 2 birds with same bill. Also a pair of warblers and 10-20 Yellow Warbler. Saw one absolutely white below from the bill to the under tail coverts & :; looked much like a Hyachius . It was pecked out on the lava, and later was chased by a ?. A jov. Green Heron in mangroves. It followed us about for a while,

They feed on branches 1 to 4" in diameter. It ran 6" to 1ft, depending largely on the density of the vegetation. Tail flickered a. 15 to 30-25°, frequently (every 2 sec. or so) and laterally spread slightly when raised, from [illegible] to [illegible] but sometimes rounded so that its whole was very conspicuous. [illegible]. Diving flush except (balance?) when the bird dropped and this hardly noticeable. The bird peers intently up (and down less often), from each patch but did not feed at each. Take prey from surface most of time, either top or bottom of branches from tip of broken twig. Once spent some time breaking very thin mangrove bark. From the white tail tips are very conspicuous on the flash. Behavior reminds me of Brownson's Thrush but were active, like a stirred up Stellar Jay. Heard a few odd songs in the mangroves. Came back along the lagoon, and bay. Saw 3 7foot white tip sharks, spent half an hour dropping boulders on them. 3 Brown Pelican Nests in the low mangroves, 1 c 10', 1 c 7', 1 c. 12' from the ground. All had downy young with flight feathers which screamed lustily. [illegible] adult remained at 2 nests and 1 nest was left alone. The nests were quite sunny. A pair of Great-blue Herons and a couple of Penguins on the rocks. Saw 5 Covenants breaking. At least 5 Semi-pal. Flowers, 2 Whimbrels, 25 Rudy Turnstones, 15 Wandering Tattlers along here on sandy shallow. Didn't see any gulls. The Marine Iguanas even about a mile from the camp are fairly shy and dive for cover when one approaches. Out by the far

P. DeBenedictis 1964 1 Feb Punta Espinosa, Fernandina Island, Galapagos lagoon, saw many mouse scales scattered on the open lava. No obvious runways or other sign. Few guils around. Drs. Miller, Bartholomew, Carpenter Miller and Mike Caston went W along the coast and came back about noon with 5 lovely red and orange hand Iguanas. Dr. Miller shot 2 doves, several finches, a Kodydy, 4 Puffins and a laughing Gull. Skinned the gull & a Puffinus. The former (laurus) had almost black feet, blackish bill except for red coming in at the base of the lower mandible. The laughing Puffinus had a greyish-blue bill, and the feet were flesh colored on the inside and bluish on the outside. The wingling is mostly gray, not white so that the flash is is mechanical reflection, and the back is very black. One contained a pink shrimp like the Oceanites yester day; the one I skinned contained a soft gelatinaceous mass [? squid or octopus). Dr. Miller shot them in a feeding assemblage on his way from the Iguana spot to the camp. Spent almost all afternoon skinning. Had the local lobster which is a little more bitter than the one I ate in Academy Bay. Tide very high in the afternoon and washing away the beach. The odel "cockoo" turned out to be Green Heron. Peterson caught what must have been a freshly fledged Penguin and brought it into camp last night, released it in a lagoon and it disappeared during the night. Dave Pearson found 2 Amblylypnus dus eggs in a burrow today; they were c. 3 x 1 1/2", and weighed 745 gm. Shell white and leathery-smooth, almost rubbery. Saw Green cactus growing with 2 feet of Attle mangroves.

DeBenedicti's 1964 72 2 Feb. Punta Espinoza, Fernandina I.s., Galapagos. became aware of Yellow Warbler song about 5:27. Frigate birds coming out of the mangroves in 2s, 3s & 4s, flying directly without circling. One large departure of c. 15 birds. Most birds out by 5:45 and most yellow Warblers quit singing & began chirping by this time. Got up early and didn't do much. A Geospiza singing in camp. Dr. Miller shot an ad. and fr bird molting from (1st to 2nd year plumage - head and neck dark with no clear hood) Larus fuliginosus. Poked along the shore for white then took Dr. Miller's pistol and hiked around the large lagoon Kister and I visited yesterday. Went there directly, shooting a Mocker at the start. It was foraging on the ground at the base of mangrove roots. The mangroves along the N side of the lagoon are 25 ft high & c. 15 ft. thick goin to a secondary channel. Yellow Warblers were very common in this and mockers spaced along the trees. The Warblers frequently fly out 50' to perch on the lava, then fly in. Can't see if they are feeding. Many 5" inch Tropic- birds along here. Saw 3 G. fuliginosa along here, + 1 Semipal. Plover + 6 Ruddy Turnstones. Along the W side the mangrove run 5-10' higher, and are 35 to 75 feet thick, very dense. Some dry, soft [illegible] bottomed pools here; saw a mocker industriously picking up mangrove leaves and flipping them back & side (one motion) or thrasher- like flipping leaves side to side. It was picking up food from the ground and swallowing it. Shot at it but missed. Saw a nice black G. fuliginosa here, and flushed 2

They ar almost dark as the adults, finely spotted, and have a very thin head and neck which is quite distinctive compared to Black-c. Night Heron. They were silent and wouldn't fly except to move deeper into the mangrove. Yellow Warblers and Mockers distributed along here as earlier. The S side of the lagoon visited yesterday. Saw the "Camalequenes" but now think it is a fuliginosa. Two "types of song from black? Geospiza. One is chu woi woi with 1 to 3, usu. 3, "woi." syllables in each song. Also heard a high pitched whistle. The brief of this bird is approx. ?G. fuliginosa or folii. Two G's sang a double to triple "cha was" song, much higher pitched than the other song. a little buzzy. Bill thin and pointed. The G I thought was Helioobolis is evidently this form - ?difficilis. Miller is getting birds like this too. Saw a vreselen wing flashing again. The forpolos are lifted from vertical to horizontal, but not out from the body, and the outer primary dropped to the ground. The flash is about 1/4 sec sq song, + usu. 4-6 in a series. Tail fanning seems to be more frequent in tail flip than I thought. Tail normals can ride and flipped to in a smooth up movement, held momentarily and dropped. the widest spread of feathers is at top of the arc. Shot and ad. Mockers but didn't get anything else. Saw no more finches - report in camp. Found lots of mouse

Got in camp about 1:30, ate lunch. Preserved one worker, skinned the other, and weighed out a Sooty Groul skull for Dr. Miller. Finished one role of film with a hawk, a couple of Cormorant, an some Isabella pictures. Not much else doing the rest of the evening. Set 2 traps in a large group of cactus cacti which seems to have many holes leading to the interior and on the way back put my foot into a snare and smashed up my thumb on his pad. Started Dave Pearlman's copy of Egon R. Buegerich At The Earth's Core. The helicopter came in today and took away Kiesle, Schelle, Pearlman, D'Origo, and deposited Steve Billeb [illegible] places. Made a horrible racket and nearly blew our tents over. Not so many water birds around as usual although I was away from camp most of the time. Dr. Miller got a Finch or an Iguana with ticks in the gullet. The worker I skinned had dark blue-gray feet & legs with yellowish foot pads. Sooty Groul has red mouth lining and red eyelid in adult. Not so many bugs at the lamp tonight. 3 Feb. overslept the frigate birds. Cloudy when I got up but soon became warm and sunny. Finished At the Earth's Core Dr. Miller got 3 more rats. Both my traps were sprung and one had the bait gone. Went out with Steve Billeb & Dietz [illegible]

It was crawling slowly and was at the edge of a crevice on the open lava e. 15 feet from the mangroves. Lots of Tropidurus here. Found a Geospiza feeding in a dry pothole on soft, yellowish soil, but missed it with the pistol. Then went out and shot another in a group of marine iguanas; it was feeding on the ground near the iguanas & crawled on them but didn't peck on them. Went back to the pot hole and shot the finch I missed before; then I got a wocker near some low mangroves, and a black neck Geospiza which was also feeding in and near a large group of Amblycerculus. It occa. probed into th, avilla and grain, but didn't seem to find any thing. All the finches I got are the same kind, probably difficilis accord-ing to Biller. Took a ♀ Yellow Warbler in transition plumage and came in to skin my birds. Spent most of the midday doing this. The yellow warbler had enlarged testis. Feet pinkish yellowish pads. Stomach full of small, unrecognizable insect remains, prob. the small flies that come to the camp at night. All the finches contained small sand grit (1" mudica. set) grains), and a yellowish, spiny seed # about 1/2 mm. long. No sign of ticks. The two drab birds were both missing the inner primaries, and showed a little body molt. The wocker had blue-grey legs & feet with yellowish foot pads. Stomach contained some washed insects parts, including one of the large colorful grasshoppers. Didn't nest well. The snake's eggs were dark

DeBenedictis 1964 76 Feb 3 Punta Espinosa, Fernandina Island, Galapagos. Worn with a crossy rim to the crisis in life. The tongue red with a black tip. Tried to bite (gaped) when ever got. Dr. Miller got a few more finches & mockers, and Ortiz cought an injured Penguin which Miller will skeletonize: Spent the afternoon bothering sea lions and took a couple more pictures. Clear, then cloudy and a little rain in the evening. Beautiful surf in the late afternoon. About 6 most of the Frigate birds on the PT got and started circling higher and higher, up to sev. Hundred feet. About 100-125. Hawks joined them. The mucker in camp very good now, comes right into the tent area. In the evening Penguin came up to the roles to roost but too dark for pictures. Yellow Warblers sounded of, chips, about 6. Chuck Carpenter had the hand Iguanas out to photograph but bot bat all they could do is sit and then run off. The scat of this species is exactly like those I found by the lagoon yesterday, both in size and composition. Had trouble with the lantern at night; everyone sat around and talked. 2 real Jews. Dieline was explaining about the lemonade we had yesterday; he and Dean Amador were sneaking a glass when Chuck Carpenter came along. They made him a 3rd glass; like theirs it was c. i's cone. lemon juice + thirst water (I made 2 gallons of strong lemonade). Carpenter had taken his first drink, prompting Dieline's remark: "Dean and I were sneaking a drink when Chuck came along and caught us and we gave him a glass and it saved him right....." This sent everyone into splits. Billeb was talking about marriage, he a veteran of 2 months, and sounded really fed up with

And, after asking why his wife wasn't there, (someone), "Why didn't she fly down?" Billeb: "How? On an [illegible]?" Can tell it's a long camp. Peterson took a picture of a bull sealion with a Star Tack camera, and all sorts of marine iguanas digging nest stuff now. Painted a little during the night, wind from the E; found out what I have been calling N is West, so adjust all earlier notes appropriately. 2 Nazomys come in to this cooking area at night, nice big ones, and Ortiz nearly caught one in a box of oatmeal. They are not very shy but don't like to be in the light. Last night they chewed up a 1/2 a roll of toilet paper for nest material. Feb 4 packing to leave now. pickled Kiestev's snake after taking a couple of pictures of it. Not much doing today. Poked around the point but not much to see. Took a lot of pictures of various animals and places about the point. Got right up to the comorants and could see the nasal drip clearly: Saw finches picking ticks off iguanas twice. A lot of this seems to be incidental to foraging on the ground near the iguanas but the birds clearly probe into the axilla, groin, vent, and cerebral areas of the lizards. The Marine iguanas are really motley now: perhaps a hundred or so is exploring and is digging on its two sandy areas near camp. Of the 4 to 5 fs to a bruas. Not many successfully completed, and the iguanas flee, of whenever one or seab approaches. Saw several very small Tropidicus. One very tame Green Heron on the Pt and Penguins swimming is very close. About 10 the helicopter delivered

In one of his pools saw fish 18" inches long, longer than I recall seeing in the pools before. Very hot, clear but windy, in the A.M. Packed in the late A.M + early P.H., then helped Coy with his sampling for a little. Spent the late afternoon taking a few more pictures, trying to find a penguin on the land. No luck in the latter. A large group of Blue-footed Boobies was diving 1/2 of the pt. over a school of 30+ porpoises. After the porpoise left the boobies all settled on the coast, departing more or less singly to 3 & 4's for the rest of of the afternoon - 2 + hours. The flock circled about so that birds dove into the wind, circled away from the wind. A couple of frigate birds in the fleet added much to the confusion. Puffins and Noddies + a few Oceanites working slowly and disinterestedly around the distant edge of the group but not seriously in the center. Boobies dive from c. 75' up, stay under 1-2 sec. Closer to live, sing a Boobie were seen diving from much lower heights, often only 10-15' and come up almost immediately. Shortly after this, saw a group of 25-30 Noddies working, also in a rough circular pattern just of the surface. When feeling the quality of the jumpy quality of a Bonaparte's Gull, but the wing beat is much gently more shallow. They feed by dipping to the surface of the water and picking off surface animals much like hi philadelphia. When they decide to fly from one place to another their, flight is more Stinger-like with the "swept-back" quality,

One of the Thamnophilus was resting on the point, quite dry, head under the wing, and clearly slipping salt from under the wing. Saw one come in, very wet; as it approached looked under the water 3 times, each time as between raising the head high, bill held up and shaking the head vigorously, as if a splashing movement. Considerable head and neck feather erection at this time. Floated in close to shore, waited for a wave and washed up on a ledge, stood up, and walked up about 2 feet until the water went out, then stopped until the next wave came in when it worked in about 4 feet further, and walked up to dry when the wave went out. Shook the head and neck a lot, flapped its wings but didn't run for 1-5 minutes, at least. Last pictures were of a green heron in the surf, which caused me to get my feet wet. Spent the evening on the beach watching the tide and sea lions come in. Very little sea bird activity... A cold windy night. Not much exciting now. Almost everyone seems to be glad to leave--now; our stay was just about the right length for what we wanted. Didn't see any Pigeons in the food, but flushed one from a lava crevice and saw a small one working on the ground at the edge of the lava under the mangroves. Very cold and windy during its night and woke up several times. Feb 5. About 2 A.M. There was a general commotion as we were roused up to board the Ecuadorian Patriot

Later in the day saw a little fluttering but not much. They flew lower to clear as the sun went up. Very few birds along the SW part of Isabela, mostly Puffinus lherminieri. Saw 1 nice ad. Red-billed Tropic bird flying over the boat. A few small rain squalls and constant overcast. Much salt spray, raining on Isabela. Most of the few Boobies here are dacrylactia. Slept a lot. Petrels about 1/2 x 1/2 O. quetzal and O. tethys, the latter was unmistakably dispensed than gracilis. Saw a Penguin about dawn before we got to Tortuga Is. No Tropic birds here this time. Very few birds from here on until we got well into the channel between Santa Cruz & Isabela, when, c. 1 hr. before we began to see " ", we saw large #s of Northern Phalarope, sitting on the water and spinning a little. Almost no petrel here but large #s of Audubon Shearwaters mixed with them and feeding, more or less singly, although it was by no means uncommonly to flush bands of 8-10 Puffins. They fled from a rapid flight, about same wingbeat as O. gracilis but wings stiff and stroke cccc. shallower, c. 1/3 wing length, and less gliding. fly 4-5 feet off the water for 10-15 feet when food plumifled, and drop down quickly, without circling, holding the wings horizontally out, or a little closed; only head under the water most of the time but the birds will dive in 1 sec. when necessary,(near the boat) see- flume facing and flying off almost immediately after.

The drop flight is similar to the plunge of L. griseus but l'heminisii seems to dive less often. Often they glide rising 20-25 feet from the surface, well above the horizon, and look much larger than they are. The white flash of the underwing remains very prominent in spite of the true ashy colour there, pattern when lighted is: and in the sun they look very bronzo above, while in clouds they are quite black. The short wing & stoutky appearance plus the rapid flight is probably a very good field recognition charactr for this sp. & L. assanini. As we approached Academy Bay we saw incoming swift and many Blue-footed Boobies. In Academy Bay two were two boobies landed on "the Baranca" and when a third came in saw a little display involving a tail rise up posture, with vocalization, following which one of this treecling birds left. Several Noddies on the cliff. They make a long (1/2 sec), low, soft, racket sound, "Errrrrr" as they fly along about to land. Saw an adult feed a young (7/8 grown) bird from an upright posture, bill down. Young begging from hunched with bill up. the young bird gave a high pitch, decending squeal. Very little other behavior. Must be very late in the season. 8 Sooty gulls on the rocks at the western of town. Together both ads. fins. Vocal

About 15 Puffinus circling about in the calm of the bay, and several flew into crevices in the Bananch, between 5 & 5:30. One flew in, stay/tail out, 1 sec., flew out, circles c. 5 sec., & then went in to story. Saw 3 birds go in another large crevice at once. Most of the crevices they enter are only 2-3 feet above high tide level. II [illegible] were circling in the bay near the boat. Golden-brown, uniform, above, white, iridescent gold, below; Walker said they are not recorded from the Galapagos! (whatever they are). handed at the station about 6, Bob Pyle gave me a skull (pick up) of a Pterodroma phaeopygia which he brought in this evening from the W side of of Copa Hill, 570 m., Santa Cruz Is. He found the skull with a few other bones [which he said are exactly those of like the Hawaiian subspecies] in the fern, grass land, Micronia bell. He said the Hornamani's told him the petrel nest "in his park" and are not to be seen during the rest of the year. Trail to the highlands still open. 6 Feb awoken at 6 A.M by Dr. Miller to help him and Nat Cohen unload a few chests from the patrol boat. We went out without incident; there was a Noddy calling by the cliffs but didn't see much else. Tide fairly high. Came back about 6:30 & spent the next half hour carrying boxes to Dr. Miller's room (in a wheelbarrow). Saw an ad, a 1 1/2 yr. & a 2nd year Sooty Gull on the dock. The Tropidurine looked much more spotted and

DeBenedictis 1/6-1 83 6 Feb Academy Bay, Santa Cruz Island, Galapagos. Much greener here than on Hood. After breakfast, went with Dr. Miller and an Ecuadorian E along the shore to a couple of salt lagoons to look for Teal. A few Marine Iguanas: The ?s are orange, one with fairly green spines, than on Espiritus but they are not as obviously nesting (1 hole, no ?). Saw 1 Green Heron along the shore. The 1st pond was about 25' ff in from the ocean, separated by a high rise, S shaped, about 30' long, each arm 10-20' wide., and 4-8" deep, with a soft muddy bottom. A narrow weed grass margin to the pond and bushes beyond this, so pass strip 4? feet wide. A little sandy weed border in some places. A pair of Teal, one of which quacked like a mallard "'wack-'wack-'wack" as they flushed. Red eon bird of ?conspicuous and in flight show much pale buff along the trailing edge of the wings & tail, speculum indistinct. Also a Black-necked Stilt and a Green Heron, with pink legs, there. The other pond opened almost on the ocean, 60' long x 25' wide, D shaped, with similar bottom and a wider beach grown to a feet Verfect iceplant. Nothing here except 1 Green Heron. Saw a round Noddy along this hole + 3 Blue footed Boobies on the way back. Also saw a Cackoo in flight near the homes on the way down, After this went with Dr. Miller into the barranco near the Seismograph station. Lots of finches as usual. A ? fotus as a nest repeated gave a descending rough "'tunnn" call, c. 1/8-1/2sec. long, this call not carrying far and sounding smoother at a distance. Collected a mocker,

DeBenedictis 1964 87 6 Feb Academy Bay, Santa Cruz Island, Galapagos. One of a pair, of which Dr. Miller got the ♀. The ♂ was feeding a young bird, out of its nest and barely able to fly, with down patches & wisps on the head. She had a clay hood patch, but like every looked like it was ready to go, well this 2 1/2 mm ova and no sign of older ova. Stomach contained several seeds of Opuntia and the head of a crambiced beetle. Saw one of the pair feeding on the ground, running about and picking food from the ground. One spent 3 seconds on a fallen Opuntia pad. Although there was a fair amount of little saw no flinching. No wing flushing and not much tail flicking. The ♂ stomach contained a Cordia pet & several seeds of Opuntia. Heard a very deep Geospiza song and found a nice black ♂ magnirostris which I collected on the top of a Santa Cruz bush. Billy Cutler saved the skins of this. The "warren" Over towards the barranco heard the "chi" song of Platyspiza and took a beautiful ♀. It is a large bird, even larger than the magnirostris but does not have really the jaw musculature of his "magi". G. fulis, fuligurosa, and scandens were quite common along here. and Camarhynchus parvulus and Yellow Warbler less common. Saw three Myrenchus pressing in & tree together, like soft Ash-the calls. 2 flew off leaving one alone, which later disappeared. Along the barranco saw a large finch in a tree and shot it hoping for another crossinotic but it turned out to be a ♀ fortis with a hood patch, not very thick but definitely vascular. Crop full of a small grevillea seed,

The jaw musculature is very much smaller than nugginotes and although I thought I had the latter when I shot it, it became obvious that it was fortis when the two birds were compared. The internal jaw structure may prove to be the best way to tell these species apart. Heard a willi cuckoo song, and both a shoop and a dull Camarhynchus pauculus song, seeing birds singing each. Heard Certhidea singing along the barranca ("parrula song") and about 1/2 way from the station to the Dormitory. Saw 2+ Martins circling along the cliff line; Dr. Miller shot a (?) and later saw one fly from the cliff. It is a small martin with a very deeply forked tail. About this time I got both feet wedged in the lava and fell on my face cutting open my forehead above the nose. On the way back Dr. Miller fell over a log and landed painfully on a small Opuntia. Dr. Martin took care of me when I got back and spent the rest of the afternoon after lunch, skinning, very slowly, the birds I shot. B.Cockle also kept the syrinx of the Platyspiza. Dr. Miller got a sinqui, small in brown plumage where its fellows. Saw adult feeding nearly fledged scandens and nest of fortis, and fuliginosa. Not much done in this afternoon. Studied a movie (Bell-Telephone Science series) in toron now. Got another E. Rice Burroughs novel from Reelman. Dr. Miller packing to leave tomorrow.

DeBenedictis 1964 Feb 8 Tortuga Bay, Santa Cruz Island. Galapagos much grown to low mangroves (15-25' high and as wide). The bay runs about a quarter mile in from the west and is smooth and well protected. No birds but a few marine iguanas on it; frigate birds flying over and a few (4-6) Great Blue Herons along the edge. We walked out to the end of the S jetty, seeing several frigate birds, all magnificent, and 20+ Terns on, 10 Tattlers, 2 Black-Bellied Plovers, 1 Semipal. Plover, 6-8 Whimbrel; lots of Yellow Warblers and Troglodytes along the shore plus the same finches as before; a lot of Opuntia along here and several deer goats. Somewhat of a browse line on the mangroves. We thus circled back and went around the bay along the N side. The forest here was quite dense, with Opuntias and mesquite, here 6-8' tall, making the passage rather sticky. Spiderwebs all over the place, most with a black and yellow [illegible] shaped beast in the middle. Got so bad I knocked them down with a stick. There was a dry logson at the NNE end of the bay, and beyond this 3 small, muddy puddles, with 3 StiltS, 1 Whimbrels, a Black-bellied Plover, 2 Semipalmated Plover and 13 Blue-winged Teal, the latter of which flew off to the W end of the bay. The rest of the shore was dry, except along the water's edge: Saw 6+ Woodkingbirds here, the only we saw on this hike except at Academy Bay. When we got to the W end of the Bay, 2 Common Egrets (C. alba) flushed from a mangrove. 3 Great Blue herons plus 2 Brown Pelicans nests. I'm along sea

P. DeBenedictis 1964 Feb 8 Tolwaga Bay to Academy Bay, Santa Cruz Is, Galapagos. Lagoon (100 x 250 yards), 2-12" deep, we found the Teal we flushed before + 6 other for a total of 19. When we climbed to the edge 6 Flamingos flew out over us, once a seventh flew up and landed in the lagoon. All seven later came back and spent the rest of the time in the lagoon paying no attention to us. They feed slowly, arching the neck, just like in a zoo. One or two birds called more or less frequently, raising the neck and spreading the wings and giving a single throaty "work" call. There were 3 Stits here, and 2?, and a 4 Galapagos Teal. We walked around the lagoon seeing 6-8 Whimbrels, 3 [illegible] 30 Ruddy Turnstones. Black-bellied Plover, 1, 6 Semipalmated Plover, 3 Sandeling, 3 Spotted Sandpiper, 8 Least Sandpipers, and 2 "Semipal- mated" (probably, they were much shorter billed, with no termin- al droop than any Western I have ever seen) Sandpipers. Several Frigate birds were playing overhead. We cut out the coast seeing a few more Tattlers and a flock of 18? Ruddy Turnstones. By this time we were exhausted and walked back without paying much attention to the birds. We had to walk back and walked along the stone almost to the bay, then angled across to the far barranco, went around this part of the Bay (hearing Camarhynchus for the first time) and ended up in Dorf's backyard. At the barranco there were about 8 Sooty Gulls, 4 sitting on the rocks giving "Kreow" notes continuously, and 3? birds flying to them, away, and back so on. When I couldn't see them Geared Long Calls. Several birds, one giving an

The Dufos invited us into their house and gave some most refreshing lemonade, and guided us to the far veranaco. Didn't see any Noddis or Puffins along the veranaco, but as we were climbing down the cliff opposite the public dock a Belted Kingfisher came rattling out of the mangroves and flew off towards Angameyeri's; could see the gray- blue bird, white in the wings, short tail and long beak clearly. Only seen from the top and couldn't tell what sex it was. We got a ride across the veranaco, and went to Devins for a beer, where we found several other members of the expedition including Bowman. We spent 3/4 of an hour there, seeing 17+ Lasierus flying around overhead, and then went for dinner at Nelson's. Spent the evening skinning the tent; an awful job & a horse skin. It began to rain about 8 and rained more less continuously all night. It wasn't bad in the tent; able to drain the roof but the water came in through the screen window and I had a 1 foot diameter puddle on the floor (under my foot) when I woke up. Been grounded by Dr. Martini for awhile. Feb. 9 woke up about 6. Still raining. The rain stopped after about a chapter of a E. Rice Burrows novel and I went to Nelson's for breakfast. Afterwards I returned to the station and then went out to the seismograph station with Steve Billet to get some of the finches we needed for our collection. Saw a dove fly in, but it didn't come close enough to

Got two very worn D's and a f, both well covered with Operatia pollen on the face. One of the D's was up in an Operatia feeding in the flowers and the other was down on the ground feeding on a farin cactus pad and nearby. It had a large green seed, [illegible]-shaped, ridged in its beak when shot; the seed was very soft. The f was with a group of 2 juveniles but chased them away when they approached her. She had a light colored lower mandible, not unlike the juveniles. The ovary had no really large ova but there was one large, yellowish follicle and she had a dried up brood patch. The males were in good breeding plumage. Also shot a singing D G. fuliginosa in transition plumage; its crop was full of palo santo seeds; the plumage was in much better condition than any of the scandorus but the skin is quite a bit softer. Also saw 2 D magnirostris, which Steve shot. A number of Camakyracles but only one Certhidea singing. At least 4 Platyspis singing here and also 2 down by Welson's, SF if they are coming down from the highlands. 2 Martins playing overhead about 10. Call [illegible] as Martin, like as I first thought. Spent the late A.M. writing yesterday's notes, ate lunch and spent the afternoon sleining. About 4:30 saw a yellow Warbler nest with fairly large young near the aviary, and little else. Mockers coming to get the moths in the john by the dorm [illegible] Ashlock and

P. DeBenedictis 1964 Feb 10 Academy Bay, Santa Cruz Island, Galapagos. woke up to beautiful clear weather after a fairly respectable rain last evening. Woke up slowly. Have two large blisters on the left side of my neck and a small one on the right side, which Dr. Martin punctures. Hurt a lot. They seem to be caused by masking the abundant small brown edemeiid beetle which forms large clusters around the lights at night. All the entomologists are covered with blisters although the critical experiments have yet to be performed. Spent the morning packing for the wood trip and drying out bird skins. The skeletons are still soaking. Will have to have something done about them! Photographed the baby teal which came in and got a picture of a ? Platypiza on some melons behind Snow's house. John Hendrickson and Ross Kiestu came back from Fernandina. They found lots of sign of Tortoise but no animal. Brought back lots of Tortoise tracks. Also brought back a big Drornicus occidentalis and 9 big hand Iguanas, al alius, plus 15? Tropidurus. They also caught 2 mockers and 4 finches (4 species) by noosing them. Saw another form of Drornicus. They said land Iguana were abundant, about 1 every 30 feet, and that the Tortoise is very, very rare. The soil there is apparently a pumice soil dependent on rainfall to maintain the vegetation. Shortly after this A #1 copier took people to the highlands to see Tortoise; Verkommen at the last minute tried to get a ride, was refused, blew up and moved out of the lab. This is about the 4th time he has blown up so far! Later

Spent some time pulling ticks off the Harboriguanales. The Tropidurus had 8-10 ticks, most of them very large and engaged, and about 95% confined to the auricular and axillary region and with red nits all over, especi- ally in the back, given anal vertebral region. The ticks were very similar to those we later pulled from the Conolophas. The smaller Tropidurus had very few ticks. The land Iguanas had only 1-8 ticks (which is many fewer in proportion to the size of the animal) and then mostly around the vent, singly rather than in the 3's and 4's of the Conolophas. Saw several bob patterns, which show some variations around a theme of 2-3 copse bobs and a bow; sometimes the bobs are given from a head-up, vertically) or head down position, and occ. a bob was given during the bow and pass another or 2 after the bow. The pattern was something like: the set of heads up -> M^up time -> O down . Conputus says this is approximately the reverse of the pattern of An other Conolophas. In the evening went down to Nelson's to get chocolates but he was out. Saw about 20-25 bats here, all apparently the same kind. After dinner they hag a movie scheduled for town but the power failed so this was cancelled. Wrote notes in the evening; rained a little and very windy from the west. Will add a rough map of the Darwin station area [illegible]

P. DeBeneckis 1964 Feb 12 Bannington to Punta Suarez, Hood Is, Galapagos. numerous from Bannington to Hood, the same species involved, in about = numbers. Slept a lot during this stretch. Saw one nice Red-billed Tropic-bird in this stretch flying over the boat to- wards Hood about 3 hours out. From a great distance Hood looks much like Bannington, a low, smallish island dominated by but 2 or 3 low cinder cones. As we approached the area where we will camp, Pta. Suarez, became distinct as a (low E) low shelf at one end of the end of the island. At first the vegetation appears to be dense and dull green, but on closer approach it was obvious that this was lichen covered, barren low trees with scattered green bushes in between. The Islando proper gives me the impression of being covered with dead "soft chapparal." The Pto. is covered with a well grazed, dry vine, mixed with mesquite and giving me the impression of a thicket of thornless roses. The soil along this shore is quite white from puffy guano, but in land the soil is quite reddish, as it works a blackish red, and due to the lack of vegetation, this soil is very conspicuous. Even from the patrol boat, 500 yards out, could see doves flying along shore and lots of boobies. Saw the Mockers almost immediately. They were running about the camp, eating our bread (proving), running about on the tables, on the ground, etc. They are as tame now as the Fernandina Mockers were after 1 days, and twice so conversant.

One was very brown and won, hardly showing the light speckles; when I charred it away it flushed a small crest which it carved and ate. The other Heon was the same dark color as the Fernandina juvenile. Saw no adult Heond one in the evening. Heard lots of Boobis and 1 Mockber (very briefly) during the night while finishing my notes. A very full day. Goats fairly common. Ted Papupuss shot 5 and I even managed to see a swallish brown one and heard several others. 13 Feb. woken up some time after sunlight. Culbides and the Geospiza and mockers all singing quite a bit, the Geospiza soon almost completely quieting. Voices from the boobis fairly conspicuous but not overpowering. Close at hand heard only Blue feet. Very little sign of Swallows-tailed Grulls. After breakfast went out to shot some finches, but my skates, went very bad, got 4 birds with 15 shots (pistol) and hit 2 with stones, only able to retrieve one. I took only Geospiza taking a ? fuliginosa from in a mesquite bush. Most of the fuliginosa I saw was in the bushes 2-4ft from the ground, and the stomachs of this bird was full of seeds of this plant and (Croelia) buds, and very much sand granules (1/8mm. fin diameter). My initial impression that this species is in the bushes much more than conirostris, but this may be due to the ratio of the two species, near like 1 fuliginosa for every 6-8 conirostris. The species is singing a little, the song fairly high pitched, like on Santa Cruz, which

13 Feb. Punta Suarez, Espanola ( Hood ) Island, Galapagos I would transcribe as: che wew about 3&+ 1/8 sec long. The (?) are very spotted and look like young birds. Little sign of body weight on the bird I skinned. G. conirostris is somewhat more common than I suspected, but far scarcer than the finches at Academy Bay (c.= to the fuliginosa pop. close). In the morning I heard two songs and later heard one male give both in succession. The short song is given at a slightly higher pitch than its long song, but both are much deeper than fuliginosa. The short song may be transcribed c che wew, about 1/2 a second long. The long song is very buzzy, with much the same quality as the song of Platyspiza and may be transcribed as chiwurrmm, about 1 second long. The species also has a high pitched whistle, seeeeeeun, like the other finches but I hear it infrequently. The note is a chisp, like a golden-crowned sparrow as I recall. A few of the birds I saw later were in trees, and they forage in the low mesquites. They usually sing 2'-6' from the ground but the bird I took was singing on the ground, and I saw 2 or 3 other birds singing from the ground. By far the greatest amount of foraging takes place on the ground. Much of this is in the normal hop and jump style but they also have a most unique method of feeding; they wedge the bird in to a crevice, either between two large bowl rocks, or under a small lava rock, or at the base of a brush. When the bird is wedged in to the crevice, the bird picks vigorously with its feet, as best as I can tell point with one then with both together as if it were running with traction the bird,

DeBenedicti: Jan 1964 12 Feb. Puerto Suarez, Espanola (Hood) Island, Galapagos a more exact analogy being pushing a heavy object with one's feet, forcing the push with one's shoulder. Mostly the birds I saw were working soft soil or ill humuses at the base of the brush, but one I saw was at least 4 inches down when I scared it away trying to see exactly what it was doing, and I saw several birds 2-3 inches down. Birds may work the same spot for 1-2 minutes after I find them and then wait on. the one I (# 3/5) shot while [short while it was] digging contained much sand and a few small green seeds of (? Cordia) leaf. Dr. Bartholomew said he saw this as well, the birds over- turning the size of the trail. The compressed bill of the species seems well adapted for this sewing as a heavy wedge almost like the longer bill of any [oyster] catcher. The jaw musculature does not impress me as being nearly as heavy as magnirostris although the bill is comparably deep; the structure is much more like fatia. Not withstanding, the crops and gullets contained the same soft seeds of nooguti (mostly) and (? Cordia) buds, as well as much grass. Most had a lot of fat near the bend, on the throat (below) and in the axilla, the fat being quite yellow and requiring a little scraping to remove (the fattest finches I have yet handled). All have very worn bills and some signs of wing molt. One I hit with a rock lost [primarily] almost all its feather from the opposite wing. One of the 9s had at least 2 ova on the right side, as marked on the label, plus a good left ovary 6-7 mm. long. The birds sang only sporadi- cally during the midday and late afternoon. Mockingbird

P. De Benedicti 1964 Feb. 13 Pinta Suarez, Espanola (Hood) Island, Galapagos are all over the place and make quite a bit of noise as the walk about. They much prefer to walk but do fly a little. They wander up to me, pick something up from the ground, look at me, wander closer, feed + and look again, walk part, just at a safe distance, and then disappear into the bushes. Most birds I see are staring at me, but a few are seen foraging. Mostly they walk, stand and peck, but they thrash effectively and efficiently, throwing small debris 5"/10" into the air and to far to the side. This living occurs mainly under dense bushes but I saw it clearly at least 3 times today and heard what was probably thrashing elsewhere. Dr. Bartholomew saw one [illegible] 6" Tropicdunes and R.Tony Peterson saw one kill a young Marshel Booby. I found One fresh, complete empty nest in a dense (?Cordia) bush about 4' from the ground, and 3' from the top of the bush. 9/10 one side in the densest part of the brush. Structurally the nest was of coarse sticks with a fine bark & grass lining, about 15 inches in diameters, much like the nest of a Sage Thrasher. Also saw an old nest a little lower to the ground an in a now dead brush. Saw makers remain dry grass or straw from an old Geospiza nest, which are quite widely distributed in the cluser bushes. Saw one Dronicus about the same size as the one I caught yesterday, about 10 A.M., but missed it in the tangle of twigs and leaves in which it was crawling. Tropicdunes fairly common. Young to 5" long to be length. Saw two Ps facing

At fi 2nd minutes of this, it returned to the cliff and after spending a minute making 2 or 3 rather half hearted passes of the cliff flew far out To sea to the SW. My impression of the braking movement was an attempt to land foiled by the heavy wind along the cliff, but the repeated & persistent passes are those that of a White thr Swift at a nesting colony and may be of some deeper significance than just attempts landing. Never saw a bird land but pretty sure I saw a couple just after they left the cliff. The Blue footed Boobies have a greater size range of young than I thought, gowing down to 1/3 grown young. Saw a 5/8 to 3/4 grown young in the same nest. The adults have two eye sizes, one having a wide iris and small pupil ( whistles) - ○ - the other having a wide pupil and small iris ( guantes ) - ○ : A slight difference in size, the guantes being a little larger, especially in the bill, than the whistles. Presume this is a sexual difference. Must check a little more on this and on the leg color of pairs noted by Bob Ryle (says one of a pair has darker legs). Carputer says the Iguanas are highly territorial now and territories well established. The local pair of Ocyptecathes were quite vocal as late as 8:30. Didn't hear as much noise of gulls this night as last. Heard goats a couple of times during the day, but

De Burcelin 1964 Feb 14 Punta Suarez, Espanola (Hood) Island, Galapagos. woke up about sunset - lots of morker and earthdew song, little finch song. Not much doing. Shortly after breakfast, I took Ortiz as a helper and set up a single strand 30 foot black mist net in the heavy bush east of camp. The net was at the end of an open red soil-laver area running N-S from the cliff, secured to the E,S,E+ W by bush. As we were setting the net up 3 or 4 Neosimini came over to see what was going on and quickly learn to run under the net (without getting caught. After this was done I wandered ares along the cliff and into the [illegible] Booby colonies and took a number of photographs of scenery and various of the local animals. About 9:30 I saw a Promiceus about the size the one I caught but missed it when it escapes under some lava at the base of a dead bush. After the first check an hour or so after I set up the net, I discovered a small Neosimius hanging from the 2nd Tier, very quietly, and removed it and cli-patched it. I took it back to camp, had some lemonade excel then went back out along the cliff, and spent some time watching feeding finches and Neosiminus. There was only 1 or 2 Tropictids around the cliffs, but lots of fork tailed gulls. I spotted 2 young birds sitting on a ledge on one of the accessible ledges and went down to see if they would fly. There was a # of Geogres nest with eggs along here, and the adults whebbled and rattled loudly as I approached but none tried to

P. De Benedictis 1964 Feb 17 Pinta Suarez, Espanola (Hood) Island, Galapagos this nss, one of a pair of very excited Certhides, which were near the net, flew in and another Tropidurus got entangled in the lower tier. I managed to get everything out and when I got back to camp I caught a Dromicus going under the box with the stone on. Spent the rest of the evening skinning the mocking, which had already (belly) attracted flies (removed as many of its eggs as I could). One bird near the net I followed for some time. It walked a long, moving 1 to 3 feet at a time, then stopped, looked down, and would flip pebbles aside with 2 or 3 side to side movements of the bill (a much less often) merely pick up something from the ground. It was quite successful, and captured several small beetles. Once this it moved a 150+ gm. rock on a pivot about 2 inches [illegible]. The accomplishments of the Corvictus are even more marked, however. A 7 plumaged bird with a light bill I watched turned over a [illegible] gm. rock which seemed to be resting flat on the ground; the rock was somewhat spherical but still must have required some effort to overturn. It kicked a 36 gm rock about 2" away, 74 off the ground at the highest. It seemed to be taking [illegible] grass stems which were covered with gravel. Another bird I saw looked like it had the root with loose grass stalks. It had much too trouble with this, moving the stem with the tarsi and at its angle of the torinuar, and holding the

One bird working in a gravel area dug a pit 2" deep, 3" long, & 2" wide moving several pair sized stones. The largest (111 gm) O-shaped was on a small mound, and the bird rolled it off with no trouble (1/2" above the resting spot), & then kicked away all the grass of the mound. There was considerable seed and grass stems under the gravel, and I could see the birds taking what seemed to be the core of grass stalks. The action of this bird was easy to see. It placed its fore foot against the edge of the pit and then ran, moving one foot after the other in rapid succession 4-6 & +10 times, sending small (10-20 mm.) pieces of gravel flying the length of its bird (6") away and an inch off the ground. Another bird with a deformed bird (which I collected) rolled over a rock which weighed between 300-400 grams. This rock was rounded out on level ground. Another flat rock (140x90x60 mm., 358 gm.) lying flat on level ground was completely tipped over, & Dr. Beutholnew got a picture of one bird in the act of picking over a rock. The stomach of this bird contained many small (? grass) seeds and some 1/2" fragments of grass stems plus lots of fine black lava sand (1-1mm. in diameter). I did not see finchinos feeding in this manner here and did little observation of mockingbirds. Collected a pair of Nesomimus on the low brush along the beach here. Their stomachs contained many insect

P. De Benedetti 1964 126 Feb 15 Pta. Cevallos to Gardner (near Hood), Galapagos. about noon we sailed from here to the small island Gardner, near Hood, which took about half an hour. Saw Masked Boobies and Frigatebirds flying about and a few Blue-footed Boobies feeding. Gardner is a low, small island, about 3/4 mile E-W, 1 mile N-S. and 400-600' at the highest (SW) part. From a distance this island appears quite red. We landed in a sheltered Bay on the W side of the island, and got ashore on a nice rocky beach, from which we had to scramble up a small cliff to get to the main part of the island. Took a # of pictures here, starting with frame #31 to #37, the 1st picture showing brush and a rocky cliff. The vegetation on the W side of the island looks low and dry as on Hood, but much closer near the ground. Saw cotton here for the 1st time on the galapagos. Found it much more difficult to move around than on Hood as the low vegetation constantly gets tangled in my feet. The soil is the same soft red soil as on Hood, well mixed with small, smooth lava rocks, and in many areas this has collapsed into the space between the rocks looking much like burrows. No goats here, no large snakes. There were a number of small cliffs and rock outcrops of very rough lava overgrown to a large extent by vines of cryptocarpus. The center of the island was fairly flat, grown to low brush, with just enough mosquitoes to annoying. Only 2 really green plants, mosquitos and baytenus, and a few Opuntia trees growing

Orteg very aptly demonstrates this by pouring a little water into a depression on a rock (he said) and then leaving his open canteen on the ground; A canorihi came right to his feet to get water. and then 2 Tropiculus. The E and S side of this island is a cobblestone beach with a coral or coral sand wash above, a few sea lions here. A red surcoulant and hayenlus formed scattered low mats here, and inland of the beach haygenius formed dense growths like low mangarita in the sieves. Didn't visit the high cliffs at the W end of this island but boobis (mostly Blue-feets) and Frigatbirds were circling over this in #5. Perhaps due to the midday heat, I saw very few birds. Cathides seemed to be the commonest species, looking like the grey bird of Hood; saw about 20 of these. Nisomineros, of which I took one, was the next commonest species, (10th same), which I found most along this beach in its dense haygenius. They were as inquisitive as the Hood animals. Saw half a dozen Doves, these mostly near the rock outcroppings on the center of the island. The common- est Geospiza seemed to be fuliginosa, of which I saw about 8. Most were feeding in the mesquite. I only saw 3 canorihi for sure, none feeding, and collected one of these. There was a beautiful black Butes on the rock outcroppings at the south end of this island. Along the cobblestone beach I

P. De Benedetti 1964 Feb 15 Isla Gardner (new Hood) to Pta Suarez, Hood, Galapagos found a pair of Oystercatchers' with a newly grown young bird, and got a nice picture of the pair (I hope). Heard a couple of Tattlers. Tropicidiums were fairly common on the sandy beach, and looked like the Hood animals, very bright, but perhaps a little smaller on the average. The few Marine Iguanas I saw (6-8) were very brightly colored like the Hood ones. Took a mackerel on the beach when we landed; it was feeding in the rocks at the water line. About 3:30 3 or 4 Audubon shearwaters came in and started circling the cliff, and I think I may have gone in; couldn't get both areas they entered. Finished the roll of film with a shot of most of Gardner as we sailed away. My impression of Pta. Cevallos would be an area of lower vegetation than Pta. Suarez. The most striking differences in the avi/anna here are the #'s of Creagases and the lack of Sula metropai, as well as the scarcity of doves. Gardner is a low island, with much denser low vegetation than Hood, and the apparent most striking feature of its avi/anna was the reversal of the fuljivosa - canistris # ratio. Two notes left out from the Cevallos area. Found a dead red heron 1 1/2" dia. and 10" deep under a large lava rock, with a clear runway entrance. Suspect it was of Tropicidiums . Had to hold the top of my nepidograph down a crevice in the rocky pt.'s making life most awkward for the time being. Slept most of the trip back from Gardner. Weighed and gutted two birds I shot, will skin them tomorrow. Wrote notes in this evening.

De Benedicto 1964 Feb 15 Punta Suarez, Isla Espanola (Wood), Galapagos. Ortiz caught a Dronicius (looked like hordenais) on Gardner and Carpenter caught many geckos on Pta Cevallos under drift wood. I looked on Gardner for Geckos but didn't find any. Koford gave me a partial Tropic-bird skeleton from Pta. Cevallos. In the evening at Pta Suarez heard Oystercatchers flying along the beach, calling loudly, several times after dark. Rained a little during the night. Feb 16 Got up late and after breakfast finished my notes and skinned out yesterday's birds. Carpenter counted 107 doves flying inland over the camp in a 15 minutes area. Most Cuthideus song in the A.H. Spent the entire morning and most of the afternoon skinning the birds I shot yesterday. Even though they were gutless they were very soft + lost much of the body feathers of the Pta. Cevallos birds. The Gardner birds held up much better. The workers all had a fair amount of fat around the lower neck and even in heavy molt on the wings and much of the body. They all managed to close on their breasts in spite of large wads of cotton down the throat. They had 6-12 cists under the stern in the region of the skull-neck join, at several points around the neck. The finches showed less molt; the one from Gardner was the fattest finch I have yet handled. The mocking may be post-breeding, for one testis was certain yellowish, more so than the others. The eye was deep brownish red, the bill dark oliveaceous black, the legs

P. DeBenedictis 1964 130 Feb 16 Punta Suarez, Isla Espanola (Hood), Galapagos grayish black with yellow foot pads. Skinning day old pussines is a horrible job not to be recommended for anyone. Hope they will hold. After I finished I went out and took a # of pictures of Blue footed Boobin, Swallow tailed Gulls, Tropicbirds, weavers and G. corvostis. The Tropicbirds were zooming around the cleft in five positions, much V gliding and turn curling" and going into (or trying) in cliff at many pts. Saw one Creagrus threaten another in a silent oblique posture like that from which they usually call. Spent a long time trying to photograph one in flight, don't know how successful I'll be at it. Went down towards the "hawk outcrop" along this cliff, where there were even more Tropic birds than where I usually looks. Caprutes saw a group of about 50 together at once and I got cup to 17 at once. After spending some time at this I came back through the brush finding a nice gravel- red soil- lava clearing where a weaver, a dove, 2 fuliginosa and a corivostis were feeding. The weaver persevered near around, then left; the dove feed in loose soil under a fairly large (6"x4"x4") overhanging lava rock, the fuliginosa hopped along picking up seed from the surface and from corivostis pits and the coricostus was busy making more pits in the gravel. Watched it for some 15-20 minutes. It did almost all its foraging by neck turning; the head is placed against something [illegible], at the base of the Mandible and the feet are moved

DeBenedictis 1964 Feb 18 Punta Suarez, Isla Espanola (Hotel) Galapogos. did not stay at the spot where the other bird had been working. Saw one & taking the beaks of the common low plant of the Blue-ft. colony, and another cutting the green leaves of This is likely their major water source. The two fuliginosa working near here were also digging in the same manner as the conirostris, although they seemed to be less efficient and moved gravel weighing on the average not less than 10 grms. The largest stone I saw moved was lying flat at the top of the pit and was kicked aside and a little down. It weighed 8 1/2 grm. The pit dug by this bird (4 plumaged) was about 3"x2"x 3/4-1" dep. This bird dug quite constantly, while another & plumaged bird nearby preferred to probe under stones and in small pits and only sec. dig a pit of its own. Before working here scraped aside very small gravel and soil with its beak from the base of large corks. A worker here was seen throwing for some 5-10 seconds in the remain of a low wish, before it wandered off. Most of the other workers there were just curious as to what & was doing. (Last night we watched a rookie chasing moths which were flying out from the island from the N). It was rather clumsy and slow flying and did not seem to catch many of the moths, but went 20-30 ft. up into the air after them.). Thad cut the skirt to dry which attracted many flies; a & Tropiderus became much attracted to the flies. She would come out

De Benedicte 1964 207 4 March Cayaguar, Guayas Prov., Ecuador. Clin. He caught 2 others of this, and I got an [illegible] at Steer's house. We saw an eleuthrodicty lid frog fly over and heard other calling in the valley floor. Carpentier found a foam nest. The valley floor was all wet and much grown to sidges, grasses and out tails, with occ. patches of acacia along the road. Saw lots of birds but was shooting and didn't get to see most of them. Got the grey grosquint (#23) and the seedeater (#22) and a parrotlet (? #24). Steer got anii, #11, and an ant shrike and a babbel. There were Black & Turkey Vultures, a large black hawk like I saw yester, a smaller brown "Buteo" with a rufous head, and black and white banded tail. Saw very few small birds. A big blue, crested, fan-tailed Cotinaja, was in the trail tree. A long tailed - green Panot with orange under wings flew over several times. A smaller yellow orioles. Great skelies, a ? cuckoo, a black headed, brown bodied, white bellied jinch, a small yellow bellied, brown-backed flycatcher, grey head, black mask with white above and below. Kingbird like a Tropical with an narrow black mask. Small streaked flycatcher brown & white (above) (below) with white sides to the tail. Small rail (cuvier), dark colored A bronze colored "Robin" with long legs. A red-backed woodpecker. There were 2 or 3 more species of gros- guists which we didn't get. A midgset belted Kingfisher with prominent white cheeks, a blue & buff belly band-

They did not attempt to dive but foamed disappeared in the water as we went by to once a close to the ship. They came by every 2 to 3 minutes at first and at onetime we saw 15-20 within a 2 or 3 minute period. Saw very little in the evening, wrote notes and went to bed after watching the movie "Titanic" - Great show for her. March 7. Got up late, and didn't get out until after breakfast. Watched from 7:30 to 8:30 but saw very few birds. 1/ Washed Boobies and an Oceanodroma tethys. All were near a squall area, and widely scattered. It is over cast and fairly copy today. One of the McKay's humming birds died and I decided to skeletonize it. Description: above: brown with brassy green iridescence to the feather tips, lower back and (especially) rump with buffy mottling. wings basally blackish. Tail [illegible] dark brown tipped, black distally with white tips, [illegible] shaped, except the central two which are elongate pt'd. [illegible], and white margins. Buffy white stripes from above eye to post auricular region, and nostril to below eye, facial mask blackish brown; a light buff throat streak, long., bordered by brown to pale malar streak, breast brown, mottled, belly buffy white. Bill black, basal 3/5's of lower mandible buffy flesh, blending to dull black; legs and feet pink, the feet pads lighter; iris black. Wing (choud) 60c5 mm. tail. 69 [illegible] mm. tarsus 6 1/2 mm. left most of it skin on my preparation

De Benedicts 226 March 7 on board "Golden Bear" Grayquill to Coroc Island. at 3:14 minutes before disappearing. Also saw a Hawks bill turtle. It was marked ochre and red-brown, and the rear of the shell was more pointed than in green turtles, O-shaped. The snout was also very sharply pointed and well set off. It was very close and disappeared while the prow from the bow. When I2 saw the flippers were up over the shell and he headed out : [illegible], and the animal appeared to be floating. Saw one O. costio, usual tail, during this period. Went out from 4:15 to 5:15 but only saw 1 O. costio. Bred to death, [illegible] all wore out mentally. Wrote notes in the evening. The midshipmen have been swiping our C-rations. The cases were removed, the bands slid off, everything eaten, and then the bands were replaced and the cases returned. They were caught because one of the midshipmen was snatching the cigarettes in our quarters. Also learned that the bus used to take everyone into town had been commandeered for 4-hours while the midshipmen [illegible] -up. Grayquill must have been wild. March 8 when we got up Coroc was just barely visible in the distance, and we got in about 10. There were lots of Boobies flying out but little else: Saw a nice Paradise Tanager with tails just molting in, and an Oceanodroma costio. Frigate birds, prob. magnificens were circling overhead. The Boobies were about equally divided in numbers between hawed Red-footed and Brown Boobies.

March 8 Chatam Bay, Coos Island, Costa Rica. Shows this [illegible] of vegetation. On the ground Anolis brownxudi was abundant. They are mostly striped, usually with dorsolateral yellow stripes but one with only vertical stripes. Some are barred with darker V or W marks, and with or without dorsolateral stripes. The gular spot of the male is orange. Here, as west Mexican Anolis, they usually hop rather than run long distances. They are extremely abundant; one comes on one every 6 or 7 feet in most places. All I saw was low down. The birds--all of them--were just the opposite. The finches, Pinnaeolia, and the flycatcher, Mus trichus, both tend to range at high levels in the trees, 20 ft to tree top level. The Flycatchers tended to stay higher, working in the crown. They are [illegible] olivaceous with yellowish wing tars, and have a funny, skattly-musical call. They are not very noisy; come to squeaking--sometimes. The finches work from about 3 ft up to tree top, usually above about 6 ft. when I saw them. The feed mainly on the larger branches of the trees, probing in black crevices and under lichens, but not apparently tearing them off. They also worked on leaves and in leaf axils: The bird looks rather downcurved, but its behavior reminds me much of our orange crowned warbler. Saw one tearing a cicada apart; the finch was holding the cicada apart and pulling off legs once the cicada was buzzing like weed. The finches made 3 or 4 soft calls; unfortunately I worked up a sufficient swet to erase the pencil note taken at this time. The song

De Benedictis 1764 231 March 8 Chatham Bay, Cocos Island, Costa Rica. It is I. magnificus. I spent some time helping Dr. Walker catch some fresh water fish he had poisoned. Dr. Weber got 20 of the two species of lizards known from Cocos. I guess I should have stayed in bed. Spent the night on the "Bear". The "Bear" went out for the night so she wouldn't be caught in the Bay by bad weather. Wrote notes in the evening. About 5 porpoise worked along in our bow stream, ois:180 in the poor phosphorescence. They would ride along for awhile, then one drop off, and shoot in from the side. Trails cross crossed and when they shot forward they left a zig-zog trail. Very spectacular. I am very tired and slept like a log. March 9 we got back to Cocos about 6:30 and were able to get ashore shortly after 7:30 miles. Lots of Boobies and Frigatebirds in the bay but little else. Shortly after we got on the beach a dark Woody went roaring out to sea. After fussing around at camp for a while I took Papenfus's pistol and went up the creek about 3/4 of a mile. There were very few birds, calling or visible, along the lower section of the creek, but after climbing a cascade section I came to a flat area grown to green grass with the usual forest on both sides. There were a good number of finches here, feeding in the bushes, and several males were singing. Most of the finches were at treetop level, but they came down to squeaking with no hesitation and I managed to net 5 birds here. As I started squeeking I spotted a tail with a redstart pattern and after realizing
Page 513
De Buenelitin 1964 March 9 Chatham Bay, Cocos Island, Costa Rica that none of the local species had this, I looked at it to find a ? American Redstart. I was able to see it very well from below, and could see the distinctive long tail, which was only slightly fanned, the yellow breast patches, greyish throat, and darker [illegible], and the white belly. It was to far up to shoot and soon disappeared in the vegetation. There were several White Noddies in the trees here and I saw the tail of one dark Noddy, sp.. There seemed to be two pairs of flycatchers around and I uncocked a good shot at one, never pulling the trigger. On the way up, just before I got to the grove area I flushed the Belted Kingfisher Bowman and Billet found yesterday. I could see it poor from above and behind as it flew around me and downstream, too far even to hit with a shot gun. After working here I went up the creek for a ways, than went up the left hand side of the creek's canyon (facing up stream) to the top of the ridge. The terrain here is unusual steep Cocos style, of steep ridges which are very difficult to climb. I went up a ridge covered with an Iris-like sedge and several very old, fungous-like ferns. At the top the ridges extend spoke like from a central point and are fairly level, the vegetation under the forest open and easy to trans- verse. The ridges are very narrow and drop steeply off from 25 to 50 or so feet to a steep gully, with small (1 acre?) flat benches on which I did most of my shooting, for the birds shot on the ridges were hard to

284 March 9 Chatham Bay, Coros Island, Costa Rica The "A" song was very Grosospiza like, sounded a buzz two-parted, fair light pitched and very buzzy, cha wi:zzzz, occa- sionally with an end note cha clizz. The song was only about 1/2 second long. They also have a short, buzzy song which is less certhidea like, cha binn, and all the songs have much of a Grosospiza quality. They have a high descending whistle, — which may or may not end with a low buzzy "wizz" note, on one pitch. The call note is similar to a small Grosospiza, while a "plew" note is like a distant Evening Grosbeak. Several other short notes I cannot sure not be entirely assigned to the species. Saw one nest, a domed affair of fine root about 20 ft up in a small tree. The flesh has the slow, baby-trick appearance of the other Grosospizes, and the wings and tail (short) always look very round. The flycatchers are not so common as the finches, about 1 pair per acre on the whole. I saw only 10-12 of the birds but they call loudly and all day through to about 3 P.M., when everything shuts up. Only one call, which I suspect is given by both members of the pair, and frequently by the (?) alone, could be assigned to this species, the high pitched, musical series tut tut tut tut tut tut "slowing a little tow- ards the end. The "song" is about 1/2 second long, the notes distinguishable but just barely countable. The birds forage almost exclusively in the high canopy and are easily distinguishable by their very long tail and olive-yellow color.

March 9 Chatteman Bay, Cocos Island, Costa Rica when in flight. Saw noise less than 10 ft. from the ground and flew below 30 ft. (2a 3 only). Had a horrible time shooting them. After about 10 shots I got one, and the only other one I hit landed in a honeysuckle out of reach. The leaves around them would disappear and I could see the bird crouching on a bare twig; most frustratingly. Saw one Coccyzus fumiginosus: the wings and tail lower coverts are rust colored in flight and the head is grey, the throat and breast white. It is a very shy shyerky bird and probably a lot more common than what I saw. It was well up in a tree over a gulley where I couldn't possibly have been otherwise if shot. I saw another Redstart, this with darker breast patches up here, but missed it on a longish shot. Got nothing else. The White Woodies were buzzing around a lot, and their is a low, throaty "warrrrk" repeated 4 to 5 times. Lots of Boobias and Frigatebirds audible, but seldom visible. The White Woodies are mostly perching in the trees but occasionally a lone bird will fly out to the ocean. I got back to camp about 1, after going down a cliff to the creek - fell 25 ft through some ferns and landed on a ledge 25-30 ft. from the bottom and had to get help to get down. After lunch I went back up to try to get some more flycatchers, but they had almost entirely stopped singing and I only saw 3, of which I was close enough to shoot at (missed it, needless to say).

In order to test this hypothesis we used a new set of conditions which allowed us to measure concentrations directly with the HPLC. The results are summarized in Table 1. We found that HNB did not show any significant effect on either the rate or extent of drug clearance in vivo. However, when tested at higher doses (20 mg/kg), it appeared to have some inhibitory effects on liver enzyme activity. This suggests that while HNB may be less active than its metabolites under normal physiological conditions, it could potentially become a useful therapeutic agent if administered at high enough concentrations.

P. DeBenedetti 1967 June 6 Colorado River, Parker Dam area, Calif. Bird was rising; this performance was repeated 6 to 8 times. No snaps heard or glides seen. The bird returned to the top of the poplar and began preening. I lost it to sight for a while, and when I found it again it was preening from the low branches of some small trees, '6-7 ft from the ground, and on a 2 foot fence post. It made 20-30 coptrues while I watched, about 1/4 shot sailing most slightly down, or at the level of shrubs' peaks below the trees. The remainder were directed out prey on the ground, the bird flying to the ground and picking its food up, not apparently landing on the ground - at any rate flapping constantly; the ground was a 1-2" burn with some bare ground nearby. After the first song heard no vocalizations from this bird. While I was watching the bird Gray came back and said he had found 3 singing males, describing an aerial flight song with this same call and a constant "butterfly flight". I went there but was only able to find one of which displayed twice, in a fairly constant, heavy (40+ mph) wind, facing into the winds. The call may have been some chial cliff as I could not hear a flexible 'pi' note at the beginning of the call although this easily could have been observed by the wind. The bird was perched on a telephone wire and took off as if preening, then the primaries were spread and flapped more slowly, but evenly constantly during the performance. Here crest and all (all the red) body feathers were emuted,

P. DeBenedetti 1969 Aug. 8. Sacramento Valley near Davis, Yolo Co., Calif. Left Berkeley c. 4:30 A.M. and went with Art Wang and Marie Mans out U.S. 40 to St. Rt. 115, then to Woodlands, + east on St. Rt. 6 to Elkhorn Ferry, and out c. 1.8 miles to a spot where some Valley Oaks adjoin the river vegetation and spent about 2 hrs looking at land birds. There were a number of migrants here, in groups of 3-6 birds which stayed together fairly well. None sang, but most gave an assortment of call notes, including a sharp "chip", a buzz (short, trilling-like), and a very species specific call. One Western Flycatcher gave a position note + the sharp "cheep" note was frequently heard. The Yellow-billed Cuckoo was seen very well as it flew from the river vegetation into the adjoining observers thread to Elkhorn Ferry; I heard no Cuckoo sound but Marie was chasing its calls shortly before I saw it. Only Bifurcated-sided Towhees sang, and many juveniles were seen. The Two ?Zonitichl's flew into a tree landed briefly, then were lost. Forked tails, faintly streaked below, dull bill - largeish sparrow, wing bars seen but not crown or back, looked late perhaps yg. White-crowns. Burlock's Orioles both imm., but several ? hazeli Buntings were seen. From here about 8:15 we went back to 16 towards Sacramento c. 2 miles + stopped at two pullout on the E side of this road, and looked for land birds here. Migrants were not as numerous, and in larger groups. Hazeli Bunting and White-headed Nuttall's sang. One of the Western Flycatchers looked very large but not differently colored. Art shot a
