44. 14 Aug 1964 - A memorable night trying for blood samples after a party which Phil, hit with grand style. After getting 20 samples, I leave & try to get Phil to do the same - he persists in his ineffective spearing of the birds well after I leave, refusing to admit to his meticulous inefficiency, and gets 4-5 more samples. I quit around 12:00 PM, Phil goes on a few more hours. 15 Aug 1964 - A.M. - Went out to reef with J., Wally, Bo, & Brigg skin diving. What a fantastic array of fishes - surgeon-fish, trigger-fish, box fish, all set against the unbelievable fan-coral that abounds. I have never seen such beauty. PM - Phil spins blood while I check mollies & Wedgetails. After dinner we got Pond to help us catch Wedge-tails in their burrows- we painted many and quit ~ 12:30 PM. 16 Aug 1964 We went to the end A.M - spotted, watched, & collected bird which may or may not be a Wilson's Phalarope. PM - count of Boobies & Frigates on the winds. 17 Aug 1964 - Rain all day! Found Great Frigate, which was killed (20cc.), octopuses collected, then frozen.
