Eyes brown ; bill black. Stomach empty. Shot on April 1, 1875, by Lord Camp- 

 bell, with the Henry rifle, while on the wing. We were just north of the tropic ; but 

 this bird, as well as another Albatross, were seen some days before we had passed out of 

 the tropics. 



No. 511. Male. North Pacific. 



Eyes brown ; feet and bill dark or nearly black. Stomach had cuttlefish. Caught 

 with a hook by Pearcey on April 7, 1875. 



We first met this bird at sea in lat. 19° 25' N., in April 1875. It was after that 

 a constant attendant on the ship, during the whole of our cruise in the North . Pacific, 

 till we reached 26° 11' N. of the Sandwich Islands. 



It was occasionally in great numbers, and was frequently and easily taken with the 

 hook at the stern of the ship.]

We met with this bird, the ' Piv ' or ' Piew ' of the sealers, all over the Southern 

 and Antarctic Oceans, down to and even among the Antarctic icebergs. Von Suhm is said 

 to have found three nests on high land near Christmas Harbour. I never met with any 

 nests of this bird. |
