PINK ALBATROSSES 
Boring the southern summers of 1962-63 and 1963-64 numbers of 
pink Wandering Albatrosses Diomedea exulans will be seen in the 
souther* oceans. 
These birds are being coloured with a pink dye by members of 
the United States Antarctic Research Program at Bird Island, South 
Ge»»rgia (54° GO’S,, 38° 02 ’W) as part of a study on their oceanic 
distribution. 
An essential part of such investigations is the co-operation 
of seafarers in reporting observations. It would be gratefully 
appreciated if each sighting of a coloured bird is reported on the 
attached form.
