R.D Kirkpatrick 1964 Journal Sand Island Johnston Atoll, Pacific Oct.

I set the Mus grid traps. Oct. AM Lt.(jg) Richard Fleming, USNR, 28 brought us a small lizard and a Wed male Rattus from Johnston Island. We ran the mouse traps and walked around the island. At the high tide mark four holes were found in the beach. They were each round and about 5 to 6" in diameter. They went down 8 to 9" then horizontally for 2' to 2½'; Two of the burrows curved left and two curved right. The excavated sand was piled neatly in a mound 18" to 24" from the mouth of each burrow.
