B.C.F. TOWNSEND CROMWELL April MARCH 1964 CRUISE #3 The April Townsend Cromwell cruise was the third in a series of cruises run by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Bureau of Commercial Fisheries covering a fixed grid area to the east of the main Hawaiian Islands for the purpose of charting the oceanographic climate of this area. The April cruise ran from 12 April to 14 May, covering approximately 4500 miles in 21 days. Project personnel, who maintained diurnal bird observations throughout the cruise, included David Bratley and Warren King. Project personnel also assisted in making six-hour weather observations and in taking bathythermograph traces. An attempt will be made to synthesize oceanographic data with the incidence of bird sightings as soon as the oceanographic data become available. Warren King
