Pour specimens were collected. 
Sooty Shearwater (Puffings prisons ) 
This species again appeared on migration through the area with 825 
individuals definitely identified in April and k7 in May. The primary 
direction of movement for both months was northwest (this is opposed to 
the southward movement in October and Uovember), 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
