Puffinus creatopus . Pink-footed Shearwater. Although no specimens were 
taken, we felt sure that we saw this shearwater at 45° 51'N, 175° 02'E 
mixed in with a flock of New Zealand Shearwaters. The dusky sides to the 
breast were in direct contrast to the Immaculate underparts of the New 
Zealand Shearwater's. The Pink-footed Shearwater has been recorded from 
Forrester Island in southeastern Alaska. There are no records from the 
Northwestern Pacific. 
Puffinus carneipes . Pale-footed Shearwater. We first saw this shearwater 
at i*-5° 51'N, 175° 02'E on 12 October. We collected ten and saw an estimated 
100 in the area. Our most southerly record was at 4l°N 173°E and the most 
northerly 47° 39'N, 173° 05'E. These birds have been reported previously 
from this latitude in the Hokkaido Island area of Japan. 
Puffinus bulleri. New Zealand Shearwater. The distribution of this 
species followed closely with that of the above shearwater in our area. 
Six were collected from a flock of about 100 on 12 October at 45° 51'N, 
I 73 0 02'E. Our most northerly record is at 47° 39'N, 173° 05'E. This 
shearwater was found in this area by Kuroda in 1955. 
Puffinus griseus . Sooty Shearwater. Some of our problems in distinguish¬ 
ing this species from the following were solved with the collecting of 
19 specimens south of the Aleutian Islands. There is but one previous 
record (specimen) from the Aleutians. We saw it last year in the 
immediate vicinity of Attu and Agattu and this year in the vicinity of 
Kiska on the Bering Sea side. It is apparent from our records that this 
species becomes more common as you progress westward through the islands.

The largest concentrations were in the vicinity of 4-5°N 175°E.
