P DeBenedictis 1964 32 18 Jan. on board "Golden Bear" en route to Galapagos. beat, and glide a lot. Rump patch wide; tail appeared round & very broad when spread, forked when closed. About 2:15 five Sooty Terns appeared, and fished by diving high from the air over an area where small fish were jumping from the water. Very few flying fish. Saw one petrel spec'd some times fluttering over the water, as if struggling to pull something from the water. Most see alone, except the last 2; these may have been O. castro. Watched again from 8:15 to 9:45. During this period saw about 15 white rumped petrels, 6-7 of the slow wing beat type, mostly too far off, and apparently with a broad, forked tail, and 3-4 of a smaller, fast- wing beat type; one of these came quite close and showed a divided white rump patch. Saw a light phase Wedge Tail about 8:30 and a light bellied Red footed Booby about 9. Largest group of petrels was 3 together, and most were single. The largest concentration about 8:15 to 9:10?, paired about a quarter of ten. Everyone is now circulating prints, books, etc. for the rest of the party to sign. About 10:30 someone said there were turtles around and everyone went forward saw half a dozen or so. They were deep [illegible] and appear to have a weakly ruled shell (no sure is /,243). greenish-black in color. Shielced. Hendrickson
