MARCH Grierson and I sailed from New York aboard the American Pioneer Line freighter S/S Pioneer Star on 5 March 1964. Ports of call en route to Brisbane, Australia were: Newport News, March 6-7; Savannah, March 8-9; Colon, March 14; transit of Panama Canal, March 15; departed Balboa for Brisbane March 15. During the voyage the recording of bird sightings took almost our entire attention. Grierson photographed birds whenever conditions per- mitted. At Savannah, Georgia, Grierson and I tape-recorded the songs of several species of frogs. In the Panama Canal Zone Grierson photographed the large lizard (Iguana iguana). Throughout the entire voyage every courtesy and much valuable assistance was extended to us by Captain Nelson P. Garland, and by Chief Officer Arthur Scott, himself a knowledgeable bird watcher. Second Mate William W. Rowland, who acted as ship's doctor, gave me much valuable advice on the treatment of minor illnesses under emergency conditions, and was most generous in adding to our stock of medical supplies for field use. Burn ointments, especially, turned out to be of particular use in our remote expedition camps. Serious burns are often incurred by babies and young children who roll into the ever present center-of-the-house or shelter fires in their sleep. Since our camp was often the only source of medical aid in emergencies, there was rarely a day that passed without an appeal for help. Two birds, found injured on board ship, were made into study skins by Grierson ( ); their ectoparasites were also collected. The only flying fish taken during the crossing was found on deck by Mr. Scott (26°-58' S. Lat., 160°-36' E. Long.). Specimens: B,2; F,1.
