BECKER 
Jure 17-20,29 ? 1923 
(Wetmore) Many young practically grown are found in the higher slopes 
with the Laysan Albatross. A few have down clinging to the 
head and neck bujr many are seemingly adult except for a slight lack in wing develop¬ 
ment. During our stay here I have seen no adults with these birds and believe that 
they have been deserted. They seem healthy enough and walk about without difficulty. 
(June 20) -- about 100 pairs seen. No adults seen whatever. 
(June 29) -- young somewhat more developed.
