De Benedicto 1964 Feb 19 Punta Suarez, Isla Espanola (Hood), Galapagos. large, c. 3/4 x 7/8 inch and extremely tough, not shedding oil when they were cut. This is much in contrast to the doves which had almost no meatland cut at all. The tests were dark gray, firm, evidently well preserved. Spent most of the afternoon fighting with this bird, thus preserved my snakes. I suspect I have mixed up the two specimens from Pta. Suarez as the longer one was the 2nd I caught. Lots of doves going to the Pt and Creagers flying out in the evening. Much Cullcider song. About 6 I realized I had not pickled my snakes and went out but saw only one bird. Hope Bowman has some. Spent the evening packing and writing notes. About 7:30 it rained fairly briskly for awhile, but the sky is fairly open, and it may not last long. Leave for Barrington early to- morrow. A very pleasant stay here. One of the doves had a fully ossified skull, the other (# 340) was [illegible]. Feb 20 was rudely awoken about 4:30 A.M. and got up, threw my things together and about 5:30, before light, we left Hood on the Patrol boat for Barrington. It had been clear and calm last night, no rain during the night. My tarp was quite wet. There was no sign of Creagers at any times during the morning. The trip out was very smooth, but there were very few birds out. Frigatebirds stayed with the boat for
