correlation was the object of this phase of the cruise. 
Dr. Robert Pyle has prepared a summary of B.T. information and plotted 
the information against the bird abundance. This information is included 
in this report as Appendix I. 
Discussion ; 
Non-grid observation has been divided into 1* sections comparable to 
the analysis presented in the previous report. See Table #9. 
"A” Oahu to Johnston Atoll. 
ft B n Johnston Atoll to S.I. Grid #1, via western extension. 
tt C tf S.I. Grid #1, to Pago Pago American Samoa and return to grid 
via Phoenix Islands. 
"D" Southern Grid to Oahu. 
Section n A M ~ Oahu to Johnston Atoll. 
Overcast skies with scattered showers and moderate seas followed us to 
Johnston Atoll where a repair stop was made. Migrating Slender-billed 
Shearwaters were the major species (70%), Wedge-tails were second most 
abundant comprising 7% of the observations. Pomarine Jaegers were concentrated 
near Oahu. 
Section lf B ft - Western Fxtension-Johnston Atoll to Southern Grid. 
Fair weather with occasional light showers and light seas made good 
observing. The skiffwas put into the water on November 13* ll*, and 1$ when c 
collecting conditions were good. Birds showed good variety, but concentrations 
and feeding flocks were not common. (See Appendix #1 for analysis of B.T. 
data and bird abundance). 
Section tT C n -Grid to Samoa to grid. 
Moderate weather prevailed in this leg of the survey. Birds in this 
section were dominated by the breeding birds in the Phoenix Islands. Large 
Tern flocks were seen near Kinder bury, Ganton and American Samoa. 
Section "D n -Grid to Oahu. 
High winds 35-1*0 nts. and high seas 25* , made observations difficult 
on this last leg. Individual birds were infrequent and accounted for 178 (27%) 
of the 667 birds observed.
