P. DeBenedictis 1964 31 Jan Punta Espinoza, Fernandina Island, Galapagos. Saw a small (15-16") brown, stippled Dromicus in the lava about 9: but it escaped down a crevice. Went back to camp dropped off the ligard and out around the lagoon S of the camp. One Sooty gull flew over but didn't stay. There are at least 3 adults and 1 imm bird around. Lots of pelicans and Frigatebirds near the lagoon. Marine Iguanas very shy and run when approached. Got pictures of a bright bird and of a G. feliguroso pering intently into the spines of an Iguana after it had been poking in the axilla and groin area of 1 or 2 animals. After working along the lagoon for a while (Saw Penguins and Cormorants) feeding off the reef). Worked out in the lava. The appearance is of scattered pools, many with fish, with mangroves around them, surrounded by lava. The lava is bare for the most part. Tropidevum near the mangroves. The Green grows 4' at fair distance from the mangrove, in the open, in clumps 9-12
