Lehmer P. 1904 Dec. 14 We caught 17 mice in the traps and placed them in the four compartments of the large cage in groups of: 5, 5, 4, and 3; the four dyes we mixed with the oats were all aniline dyes in the following four colors: fast green, basic fuchsin, gentian violet and methylene blue; we took blood from one broken wing Sooty Tern; the 11:30 Mike boat took us to Johnston where we ate lunch, borrowed a truck and surveyed the island; we found: 26 Golden Plovers, 24 Ruddy Turnstones, 6 Red-tailed Tropicbirds and 1 Sanderling; returning from Johnston in mid-afternoon on the VP we saw a Wedgetailed Shearwater sitting on the water (undoubtedly hurt); later in the afternoon we counted shorebirds on Sand Island: 30 Golden Plovers, and 3 Ruddy Turnstones; Sooty Terns are now sitting on the ground at night in numbers from 5 to 7 thousand.
