Scarcity of birds
Puffinus major (?)
Mother Cary's Chicken.

  No birds were noticed during the forenoon but about 4 P.M.
10 or 12 Shearwaters were seen by Dr. Allen. He called me out
to see them but only two were in sight when I reached the deck.
These looked like Puffinus major to which species Dr. Allen was inclined
to refer all that he observed. He caught a fleeting glympse [glimpse] of 
a "Mother Cary's Chicken" of one or another kind.

Dr. Allen saw about a dozen Greater Shearwaters at 10 A.M. and later

Sun Fish basking on its side at the surface with a shark-like
dorsal fin exposed at times.
