ClaPP, Roger 1964 Field Notes Pago-Pago, Tuitila, American Samoa Spent first day in Samoa purchasing supplies and working on reports. Saw Red-vented Bulbul in palms in main drag. Vegetation is much more lush as it is now the rainy season but birds are little in evidence. In the afternoon took a trip with Neal Spencer to his entomology station. With his assistance purchased 8 quarts of formaldehyde solution. This may be obtained at the rear of the hospital at hospital supply (Also for various reasons excellent spot for girl watching; such as they are.). On the trip saw several banded rails crossing the road. At five went with the rest of the crew (POOP) and those officers that could still navigate to the governor's for cocktails. Very dull, hardly enlivened by the (weak) alcoholic beverages. Very formal (uniformed doorman saluting us, car sent to bring us what was a two to five minute walk). Man to see for government transportation is the governor's secretary. Neal Spencer is also very helpful (contributed chloroform and offered to store any supplies we should wish to send to Pago Pago). March 7--Went up on pass across mountains behind town in morning. The Collocalia were noticeably less abundant along the cliff face than at our previous visit; their numbers in the tens rather than in the hundreds. There were many Wedge-tailed Tropicbirds in the mountain forest and several fruit bats were seen soaring overhead (two collected).
