Harbor, C.D. March 1 Journal Janus Island Merrell went out on a blood run at 0800. The boat had no difficulty whatever because there is now a calm period lasting up to five minutes. When we blood sampled the Lesser Frigatebirds last night we found that most had very badly infected tarsus due to improper banding. On the last trip the Army photographers banded several Lesser Frigatebird on this island and apparently set the birds improperly on the tarsus. Most of these birds should be away from their nests and gone by now but all they do is sit around [illegible] and talk. Most of them are very light in weight and heavily soiled from their own droppings. I don't that more than half will survive. Apparently, Janus is on the upswing again since as rainfall is concerned. We have had frequent but brief showers throughout our stay. As the result the vegetation along the beach crest is beginning to show some signs of renewed vigor. Haber shot one cat last night - a lactating female. Last night Haber complained of headache and nausea. He said his tongue was swollen at the base and that the big lymph glands in his groin were swollen. On top of this he has an odd cough so at 1300 we sent him to the ship to be checked out by the medic. This may be due to the bad infection he has on his leg or may stem from something entirely different.
