Abstract

This memoranda book contains bird banding lists and bird population counts of R. W. Tuxson, from his work with the Pacific Ocean Biological Survey in 1966. Banding lists include band numbers 645-05301 to 923-18900. Other lists indicate bird counts, nest counts, and some turtle and seal counts, with tally marks. Activities were conducted in French Frigate Shoals, including East Island, Tern Island, Trig Island, and Whale Island. Tuxson indicates that he worked with Harrington, and some data is entered only in Harrington's memoranda book.
