Gill, Douglas E. 1964--II Honolulu, Hawaii movie, A Shot in the Dark, with Peter Sellers was a riot. When we got back at the hotel we met Ken and Paul W. going to do wash so Dick and I joined them. We returned around one and we hit the sack. 3 August, 1964 Dr. Ely came knocking on the door at 0645 so I woke Pete up. He got ready and soon he and Doug left. I called the car rental for Doug then went back to sleep. I got up at 0930 and cooked some eggs and bacon Pete had left. I then straightened things up as Larry packed his backpack. Warren came in right after Doug came back and took Larry out to Dr. Ely's. He had wanted to go so sat and talked about the potential of this project birdwise. I showed him my Carpodacus paper. I think very highly of Warren as one of the most wonderfully worthwhile birders on this project. He is a philosophy graduate from Williams College. Cameron Keppler, a grad student under Dilges came by and joined us. He is a magnificently mature, interesting person and I was attracted to him immediately. He knew Doug Futuyma. At noon we (Paul DuMont, Cameron and I) went to the Colonial House for lunch. I described the initiation of a polliwog to a shellback to their anguish. I spent the entire afternoon writing a letter and journal. Dr. Ely came over around 1800 after Fred and wife had been here for awhile. Warren came over with the 4 Dark-rumped Petrels and 1 White-necked that they collected. Much to other hotel guests' curiosity, we examined the birds. Both species were amazingly close morphologically, and Palmer's lumping the two seems reasonable. We discussed the situation of possible allopatry and lack of information regarding isolating mechanisms. I changed into some good clothes but wasn't invited to join the Ely's, Sibley's,
