De Benedictis 1964 Feb 29 on board "Golden Bear", Galapagos to Guayaquil, Ecuador (1's again as big) white-rumped Oceanodroma (costa) with a much & lower wing beat, the wings going lower before the body, went past, paying no attention to the ship. I saw 6 O. Kethys from the bow, 2 to- gither and 4 far off, barely in binocular range, fluying more or less parallel to the boat between 12:15 and 12:30. Between 12:30 and 1 saw one more white rumped Oceanodroma, and a yellow-olives colored Green Turtle floating on the surface, swimming slowly. It was about 4 ft. long, and did not dive as the "Bear" did past. About 1 we came on a Red-billed Tropicbird sitting on the water, the long tail plumes horizontal, floating on the surface. As the bear approached it paddled off, making no attempt to keep the tail plumes out of the water, but could not get up. paddle with the feet and wing tips hit the water. After going about 25 feet, it sat down, dropped a 12 inch fish, and then flew off after pattering only 2 or 3 feet. Between 1 and 1:30 this was motlingy. We had a lifeboat drill after that; Saw a couple of O. Kethys which were apparently leaving the boat. The "Bear" slowed down for about 1-2 hours during the drill, then went off. Got a haircut from one of the crew ($2), and about 3:30 went out for a final watch. I got out to see 2 Oceanodroma Kethys in front of the
