The following photographs were taken between July 18 and August 1, 1978 on a University of California Extension study tour to the Galapagos Islands. The tour was led by Fernando Ortiz, Chairman of the Department of Ecology, Catholic University of Quito. Professor Ortiz had earned his PhD under Frank Pitelka at UC Berkeley. My camera was a Mamiya Sekor with a Soligor zoom lens.
