P. DeBenedictis 1964 28 17 Jan. on board "Golden Bean" en route to Galapagos Is. Overcast, warm, muggy this A.M., Rougher than yesterday. Wore up, partially. Think Dystropics are beginning to get me. Between 6:30 and 7:05 saw 1 Red-footed Booby, flying far off from the boat, Storm petrel (sp), and a white-rumped petrel. The Red-foot is still on the mast. About 6-8 shearwaters (Puffinus) appeared along the boat, flying in amed along the bow, sometimes getting quite close. In the wind, they have a light, almost jaeger like flight, a loose motion of the wing, and hold the carpal joint bent. Long tailed and slender billed. They are brown above, white below, the margin of the wing Brown, as are the axillaries and face. The greater wing coverts are very pale from a band like the storm petrel. Think it is P. pacificus, ligh phase. The tail is not as wedge shaped as the bird seen before, but molt on the wings is conspicuous. At breakfast at 7, from 7:30-7:40 saw another of these shearwater, a white rumped storm petrel, and a Leach's Petrel on which the divided rump patch was conspicuous. In the distance saw an immer. Sula dactylatra, mottled above and on the wing coverts, white below. Between 8:15 and 8:40 saw 4 more of these Puffinus, plus a definite Manx type, almost with a "Wedgetail." It was nearly jet black and blacker on the flank. Wings held straight and
