[November 10th]We covered about a mile of beach and
in that distance, found 50 SHORT-TAILED
SHEARWATERS, 4 FAIRY PRIONS, 3 FAIRY
PENGUINS, one THICK-BILLED PENGUIN, one
FLUTTERING SHEARWATER, one WHITE-HEADED
PETREL and a STORM-PETREL, so far 
not identified. The last four were
first-rate and important finds and
of course, [crossed out] Noel was delighted. We
also saw a flock of about 40 waders,
which are provisionally identified as
LITTLE STINTS.
   In the evening I attended the
monthly Portland Naturalists Society's meeting.
The minutes were concerned with the
preservation of a sanctuary and the possible
establishment of a quarterly publication.
Then specimens were called for, some of
which were interesting. Noel brought
his beach-washed specimens â”€ the "Storm-
Petrel" of the [crossed out] evening [/crossed out] afternoon was
identified as a DIVING-PETREL and
