P. DeBeaudichin 1967 54 26 Jan. Pt. Espinosa, Fernandina Island, Galapagos. 30 inches high, yellow-brown in color, with short dense spines. The lava areas extend in land or sea miles, but there seems to be much mangrove along the shore in this area. More vegetation on Isabela across the channel than on Fernandina. At the heat of the day all the lizards run about on tip toe. Sau finches feeding on the ground near iguanas but not on them. Seal scats are fairly numerous on the coast; Iguana dropping's on the rocks: thier droppings are a large soft greenish mass which flows freely when excreted and forms a pasty mass when dried. Tide pools contain mostly snails and small fish (goby & flenny type); a few barnacles in some. Haven't done any rock turning. Cricket's cooing at night, but little in ride otherwise apparent except for the large grass hopper and the dragonflies. The box of oat meal Dr. Miller sent over in my duffle bag woke open and I set up the 1st feeding station (I suspect) on Fernandina - nothing bad comes to it by about 8:30. Dr. Bartholomew is working with Bob Kiestu on sexual characters of Amblyrhynchus. Dr. Walku and Hobson are deciding where to paint fish. Dr. Carpenter is observing lizards. Rodger T. Petu- son is photographing everything in sight and Dr. Dean Amazon has been watching the hawks. I don't seem to be doing much at all now besides assisting
