R.D. Crossin Journal 1965 17 July Laycan Laycan aid entry can be made even with a small boat only in certain small channelway, and sandy beach for landing which occurred without incident. We set up the tent with Daylo & Spring so as not to repeat the sloppy job I tent setting which occurred on Sarian ski. We then set out to land. Sixty tons all night. 3 our still very stiff and sore from the mast conditions which occurred on Laycan ski. The story of terns first appeared will and could not be easily worked, but we worked into better sections later in the night. I spotted a Laycan teal way upon light ground and gridded at six in the left headlamp. Finished my landing at daylight - landed 1000 shots, any or del similar. 18 July Laycan Tried to grab some sleep after bombing all night, but the flies are terrible and sons swarmed the camp area.

We gave up the periodicity of getting any sleep after about an hour or so and splitting up into two parties we went out for ticks. Daylo and I examined hundreds of possible host before finally finding one on a young dusty tern. All species present were searched, but we encountered only one other tick (Xenodex) on a young Ruddy tern. Brian and Jeff had little better luck and found only a few. Both specimens that Daylo and I found were on the underwing surface in the radius-ulna area. Brian's stated he had found some on the upper wing in this general area. Daylo and I found a small number of the Sift ticks (Ceratophyllum). this species remains more first during the Laycan
