P. DeBenedetti 464 74 2 Feb. Rivula Espinosa, Fernandina Island, Galapagos. droppings on the cacti + 8" larger? ?Sats, 4" long x 1/2" in dia composed of cactus spines and sheets of what looks like mangrove leaves. Don't have any idea what might produce them. They are not rip. white and all are old and damp. shape: [illegible]. Cactus mixed all through them without being much evident on the exterior. 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]
