No rain fell between shot time and sample recovery so the chemical

gesposition of island stations was affected only by the coral sand which

was

blown in by the wind.

Samples from Shot 2

Samples collected on Elmer at R+1 hr from very light fallout

were used only for decay measurements, The samples from Project 2.5a
were received at the field laboratory on R+2 days; they are described in
Table 3, 2. The total counts, as given, include the activity on the funnels as well as that in the bottles. In general, the funnels were more
conteminated than the bottles, especially for the dry samples. The flags
on the buoy mast of the “loating stations collected very large amounts

of fellout.

On station RL, for example, the bottle read 60 mr/h, the

funnel 400 mr/h, and the flag 9000 mr/h at R+2.1 days. Rain fell over

scattered areas between the placement and recovery of the samplers for
Shot 2,
