[[preprinted]] 56 [[/preprinted]] Grenada 24.

seaweed, found several of the brown Carabids, some small weevils, several Anthicidae, and one or two [[insertion]]  (2) [[/insertion]] small Staphs. Worked here for nearly an hour on a fine wide beach of light coloured sand, but couldn't find a sign of any [[underline]] Cafius [[/underline]].
[[underline]] Station 161. [[/underline]]
1/2 mile northwest of station 160. In cow dung found a considerable series of [[underline]] Aphodius [[/underline]] (2 sp.), one [[insertion]] (1) [[/insertion]]  [[underline]] Philonthus [[/underline]], and one [[insertion]] ([[overwritten]] ? [[/overwritten]] 0) [[/insertion]] Paederinae. In a termite nest found only the queen, - no guests. There were also quite a few large [[insertion]] ^ red [[/insertion]] ants in one part of the nest.
I climbed up the 200 foot hill to see Lake Antoine, which is said to occupy a cinder crater. The lake is nearly a quarter of a mile wide, surrounded by a single row of palms, and lying in the bottom of a round depression whose walls rise fairly steeply to a height of 50 to 250 feet. The lake itself appears to be nearly at sea level. Took a photograph from the highest point of the rim, looking southwest over the lowest part. Exposure 1/25 & 22 (diaphragm may have moved to 25). From here I could see Carriacou and Union, but couldn't get a picture of them.

Returned through Grenville and stopped on beach at edge of town.
[[underline]] Station 162. [[/underline]]
[[margin]] A [[/margin]] 1/2 mile south of Grenville. Under seaweed on the beach found 2 small Staphs that appear 
[[margin]] B [[/margin]] to be [[underline]] Bledius [[/underline]]. In excrement found one [[underline]] Oxcytelus [[/underline]] and one Forficulid.
Found a nice piece of coral to send EB, and also took a sample from a cliff over the beach.
[[underline]] Station 163. [[/underline]]
1 1/2 mile south of Grenville. Under seaweed found 2 [[insertion]] (2) [[/insertion]] [[underline]] Cafius [[/underline]] and one large Forficulid. I had almost given up hope for the [[underline]] Cafius [[/underline]], but stopped again at the exact place I saw the one before (I-21-36). Right away I found one. Then a bunch of natives flocked around and after seeing what I was after, started turning up the whole beach. I saw another but it flew away, and then one of the boys found one and brought it to me. There are quite a few chickens always scratching on this beach, and I suspect they account for quite a few Staphs. The bums!
The boys were much interested in the motor. I talked with them for a while, demonstrated the reverse to prove it was one, and then came directly home without stops.
