On 7 May at 2100 hours a bird crash landed on the hello deck of the 
ship. This bird was preserved as a study skin. 
Foot specimens were collected. 
Sooty Shearwater ( Puff inns griseus ) 
This species again appeared on migration through the area with 82p 
individuals definitely identified in April and ^7 in May. The primary 
direction of movement for both months was northwest (this is opposed to 
the southward movement in October and November)* Some birds, especially 
near Oahu, were observed to fly around as if feeding and one or two were 
flushed up from the water. This was not observed in the previous migration. 
These two facts, plus the much smaller numbers of birds, indicates a con- 
siderably different form of migration in the post breeding season in this 
area.
