The April Townsend Cromwell cruise was the third in a series of 
cruises run by the U. S, Fish and Wildlife Bureau of Commercial Fisheries 
covering a fixed grid area to the east of the main Hawaiian Islands for 
the purpose of charting the oceanographic climate of this area. 
The April cruise ran from 12 April to U May, covering approximately 
1500 miles in 21 days. Project personnel, who maintained diurnal bird 
observations throughout the cruise, included David Bratiny and Warren 
King, Project personnel also assisted in making six-hour weather 
observations and in taking bathythermograph traces. 
An attempt will be made to synthesize oceanographic data with the 
incidence of bird sightings as soon as the oceanographic becomes available
