Pterodroma hypoleuca nigripennis 
Of 125 birds of this xxkspecies, at least 80 were of this form. The rest 
were not seen clearly enough to permit identification past the species 
level. Only 5 were seen near Howland and Baker Islands; most were north of 
5* * North. 
Pterodroma leucoptera ? 
Seven birds of this or a similar appearing species were seen, all south 
of the equator. In addition, six were seen within a short period of time at 
5° North. 
Pterodroma alba 
Two were seen, one near Howland Island. 
Pterodroma neglecta 
Three were seen between Johnston Atoll and Howland Island. 
Pterodroma inexpectata 
One good sighting was made on 4 October. The bird was heading south 
with four Sooty Shearwaters. 
Bulweria bulwerii 
Most of the 107 birds seen were just south of Oahu, although a few 
individuals were seen nearly every day, including^the Howland and Baker 
Islands area. 
Oceanodroma leucorhoa ? 
Seven individuals perhaps of this species were seen just south of Oahu, 
and two more were seen within 100 miles of Howland Island. The possibility 
of confusing this with similar species is strong. 
Nesofregatta albigularis 
Four were seen between Howland Island and McKean Island. 
Phaethon rubricauda 
A total of 27 were seen, 19 south of Oahu, 5 near Howland and £aker 
Islands, and three north of Samoa. 
Phaethon lepturus 
The 25 birds of this species were distributed rather like the preceeding 
species. A feeding flock of six was seen near Samoa.

of Enderbairry Island, and 12 were within 50 miles of Howland and Baker 
.Il/n^ds. Three were collected, one of which was banded.
