Cape Pigeon caught to-day. It had not started moulting. 
October 24th, 1898. 
Water, 56°; air, 50°; lat, 42°, 23' S. ; long., 20° 32' E. Several 
albatrosses and petrels were caught to-day. Among the birds shot 
to-day was a Cape hen (Majagucus equinoctialis) as also a small grey 
petrel. The specimens I got this day were Diomedea exulans, 
Diomedea fuliginosa, Diomedea culminata, and the two  petrels 
mentioned above. The little grey-backed petrel, and the white- 
bellied petrel, as also Prion vittatus were caught. The stomachs of 
the albatrosses had all more or less digested octopuses, and all the 
petrels had the already-mentioned oily substance. Prion vittatus, 
as well as the small white-bellied petrel, had not started moulting. 
All the others had started, and some of the albatrosses were already 
far advanced in their moulting. We saw a small Penguin colony 
to-day at some distance from the vessel.

two light, nearly white birds to-day. As far as could be seen they

Albatross (D. exulans) was caught to-day. It had evidently eaten a 
great deal of octopus, which it left on the deck as soon as it was 
hauled on board. All in all I found the beaks of seventeen 
octopuses in them. The Diomedea exulans has not been seen in 
: great numbers, no more than eight have been seen at one time.
