At the begining of the chapter, while Ralph and Piggy are bathing in the pool Ralph asked "Where's everybody?" Ralph specifically refers to Samneric and Bill, which would indicate that he believed that there were at least five boys in his group, including himself. Piggy pointed beyond the platform and replied "That's where they have gone. Jack's party." So in fact all that actually remained of Ralph's group were Ralph and Piggy. By the morning after the party, and the killing of Simon, Samneric had rejoined Ralph's group.

After they had finished building the fire near to the shelters Ralph looked around and to quote from the book... Then for the first time he saw how few biguns there were and understood why the work had been so hard. Then Ralph asked "Where's Maurice?" and a little later asked "Where's Bill and Roger?" Piggy replied "I expect they've gone. I expect they won't play either."
The boy with the mulberry colored birthmark goes missing, we never learn his name however.
