Itinerary
March 6 Arrive Pago Pago, American Samoa
March 10 Depart Pago Pago, American Samoa
March 14 Arrive Jarvis Island, Line Islands
March 19 Depart Jarvis Island, Line Islands.
American Samoa
The four days spent here were mainly spent catching up on reports, and
refitting for the final month of operations.
Considerable time was spent touring Tutila and 21 specimens of 7 species of
birds, 2 fruit bats, and humorous herpetological specimens were secured.
At sea observations were maintained during daylight hours on the trip
to Jarvis Island.
P.S. We are now on Christmas Island. Someone failed to
notify either Christmas, Washington or Hanning of our visit.
As a result we have initially received the old shelter and
are fighting an uphill battle to faithfully accomplish our
work.
