472 Mr. D. A. Bannerman on the Distribution of 



coast of this island and on the outlying rocks. All were 

 adults and are described by Count Salvadori (Ann. Mus. Civ, 

 Genova, vol. xx. 1899, p. 302). 



On April 28 Alexander visited the island of Raza for 

 the first time, where he found these Shearwaters in holes 

 under boulders and in hollows in the cliffs ; the birds were 

 then paired, sitting in their holes in couples. Apparently 

 they had not yet commenced laying as no eggs were obtained, 

 although Alexander appears to have been on the island 

 until the first week in May. After leaving Raza the neigh- 

 bouring island of Branca was visited by the expedition. 

 Alexander notes that P. k. edwardsi also inhabits this island, 

 although he does not appear to have obtained specimens 

 from there. On October 7 of the same year (1897) Boyd 

 Alexander again visited Raza and found that F. k. edivardsi 

 had young ; he then remained two weeks on this island and 

 reports that the eggs are laid in September. During this 

 latter visit 3000 of these Shearwaters were captured by the 

 fishermen and prepared for food.
