P. De Benedicti's 1964 Feb 15 Punta Cevallos, Espanola (Hood) Island, Galapagos. pairs of Geagus and 10 pairs of Sula nebulosi. The vegetation was quite dense but as dry as on Pta. Suarez. The 2nd island was a little lower, c. 1/8 mile square, but only 2-3 pairs of Geagus on its cleft. The vegetation was much the same here. We went past here to Pta. Cevallos at the extreme E end of Espanola where we landed on a rocky pt much like the extreme pt. at Suarez. The intertidal area was quite rich, with much algae and lots of coral (picked up 5+6 bright orange corals growing together on the bottom of a rock). Marine Iguanas are almost none evi'nt here for some reason although the situation looks perfect. Perhaps this good algal growth + lack of iguanas go together. Certainly it was the best tidal area I have seen in the islands. On the beach there was a young albatross a good month from flying (down on its head + neck + much of its body) which I photographed. The pt consists of a sandy beach, low (2-4 high) open brush in which we saw, in order of abundance, Nesomimus, G. conirostris, B. fuliginosa, Neopelea, and Cathides. Tropideurs, like the animals at Suarez, were very common here, but I saw no snakes. I walked 1/2 along this shore, which quickly developed into cliff, 1st 100-150', then 200-300' high (h.) of care rock. Masked Boobies were very conspicuous here, nesting in large #s and at about the same
