P. DeBenedictis 1964 6 Feb Academy Bay, Santa Cruz Island, Galapagos. prob.(cordia)? or the tree from which I shot it (palo santo). The ovary showed signs of future laying. 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.
