P. e. cervlcalls (White-necked Petrel) l 
One bird of each race was seen. The Juan Fernandez race

Cceanodroma leucorhoa (Leach’s Storm Petrel) 6

The four Blue-faced Boobies recorded were sub-adult birds. One

Sula sula (Red-footed Booby) 41 
Forty-one jjed foots were recorded. Six were adults, 12 
subacults, and 23 immatures. Again this month the immatures ate 
the most abundant age class. 
The Abundance of Red-foots apparently can be correlated with 
high winds. During periods of high winds fewer boobies return
