Lehner P. 1964 45 Oct. 14 - continued of Pisania and Messerschmidia with Scavola on the edges out to a fine grained beach. Their is a coconut tree plantation ( planted by visiting Marshallese) which provides us with small, but good nuts, and other grass I cannot identify; the fauna is extensive species wise: Red-footed Boobies, Brown Boobies, Blue-faced Boobies, Great Frigatebirds, Fairy Terns, Hawaiian Noddies, Brutle-thighed Curlew, Golden Plover, Ruddy Turnstone, Crested Tern, and others I have not yet seen; our camp appears to be in better shape, the habitat is more pleasing and consequently I am looking forward to a more pleasant stay; hit the rack at 10:50 - still no rain.
