Vo. II, Pr. IT] LOOMIS—A REVIEW OF THE TUBINARES 129 
Extent: One male, 625 mm.; one female, 630 mm. 
As evidenced by the foregoing dimensions, the males and 
females are not conspicuously dissimilar in size. 
Three eggs from Hood Island measure in millimeters: 
47.1x32.9; 48.1x33.9; 48.5x33.8. They are dead white, and 
in form ovate, inclining to elliptical ovate.

So far as I am aware, this Southern Hemisphere shearwater 
has been reported for the eastern side of the Pacific only from 
the vicinity of Point Pinos, California, where Mr. R. H. Beck 
has secured during his various expeditions ten specimens for 
the Academy and four for the University of California. His 
first specimen was taken on November 23, 1903, and his second 
and third on November 24, 1904. These specimens were the 
property of the Academy and were destroyed in the Conflagra- 
tion of April, 1906. The other Academy specimens (seven 
males) were obtained in 1907. Mr. Beck’s notes concerning 
them are as follows: 
During my eleven months’ stay in 1907 I saw nine Flesh- 
footed Shearwaters. They were then perhaps more plentiful 
than in other seasons; though the close watch I kept on shear- 
waters that year and the abundance of Sooty Shearwaters 
partly account for so many being seen. 
On February 27, while I was out six miles northwest of the 
buoy amongst a large flock of fishing birds, I noticed a Flesh- 
footed Shearwater flying past. A long shot caused him to 
circle off and drop; but in the choppy sea I would have lost him 
had not a Cooper’s Shearwater circled about and showed the 
dead bird’s position. 
On April 29, about six miles northwest of the buoy, I scared 
up a small bunch of Sooty Shearwaters, and a Flesh-footed 
swung up and was shot. 
June 25 was foggy, with shearwaters abundant from Moss 
Beach to Seal Rocks. A mile or so off Seal Rocks a Flesh- 
footed Shearwater, two hundred yards away, was seen flying
