Newell's Shearwater V (2) 
This species has been recorded irregularly in very low numbers. 
Apparently only a few stragglers pass through and the grid area 
is not considered to be a reularly frequented area of the species. 
New Zealand Shearwater (1) 
Good observations were made of a single individual and represent 
. 
the first evidence of this species in the grid area. Birds moving 
from northern waters to the southern hemisphere breeding grounds 
♦ 
apparently pass through the equatorial area eastward of the grid. 
Little Shearwater (l) " ' 
Good observations were made of a single bird tentatively identified 
s 
% \ 
to this species. There exists considerable possibility of oonfus- 
ing this species with Audubon's Shearwater. 
Juan Fernandez Petrel (4) 
This species is irregularly recorded in the grid in low numbers 
except during migration. Unlike the Sooty/Slender-billed Shear¬ 
water migration, movement is unhurried with birds advancing in a 
broad front with continuous foraging along the route. During the 
♦ 
present cruise south from the Hawaiian Islands f birds were numerous 
to 10° N, with only occasional scattered sightings from there south- 
ward.
