Finsch (1881b:107) recorded nests, and Nehrkorn (1899:222) reported on eggs taken at Kusaie. Yamashina (1932a:409) recorded the taking of eggs at Koror in the Palau Islands on January 19 and November 10 and in the Marshalls at Namo on October 19, and at Iringlab on October 21. No evidence of nestings was obtained by the NAMRU2 party in 1945, although a number of birds were seen at Ulithi in August. Coultas (field notes) writes that a colony of approximately 20 birds began nesting about Christmas time on a small offshore island near Ponapé. Nests were placed in the crotches of limbs of mangroves, 8 to 15 feet above the ground. _Food habits._--The NAMRU2 party found small fish in the stomachs of terns taken at Ulithi and Peleliu. _Parasites._--Bequaert (1939:82 and 1941:253) records the fly (Hippoboscidae), _Alfersia aenescens_, from the White-capped Noddy taken at Ponapé and Palau.
