Bulweria 
June 17-20, 1923 : Common nesting as at Nihoa. The barking calls of these birds 
muffled and amplified by the rock cabes surrounding our camp had a supernatural 
sound at night inducing the statement by a visitor ashore for the night that he 
heard the spirit dogs of ancient Hawaiians. 
June 29, 1925 • Abundant. 
Wedge-tailed Shearwater 
June 17-19? 1923 : Common but less abundant than on Nihoa. The birds have eggs 
scattered about over the slopes, most of them showing slight traces of incubation. 
I saw one instance where two eggs had rolled together and one bird was incubating 
both. 
June 20, 1923 : About 3000 pairs here. Hie calls of these birds echo along the 
rock cliffs at nightfall with a wierd cadence that is ghostly in the extreme ----- 
June 29 , 1923 : No change
