-126- on Aug. 25, 1769, in 32° 26' S., 147° 32' W. Saw "several Albetrosses, Pintado Birds and Sheer Waters", Aug. 27, 1769, in 33° 34' S., 147° 25' W. Saw "some Pintado Birds and Sheer Waters and a Green birds (SIC) something smaller than a Dove, but it was not near enough to distin- guish whether it was a Sea or Land bird; it was only seen by one Person, and he probably was Mistaken in the Colour." (Parkinson says one of Banks' servants "saw a bird of a fine green colour"). This was on Aug. 30, 1769, in 38° 20' S., 147° 6' W. Saw "Some Albetrosses, Sheer Waters, and a great many Pintado Birds about the ship with some hundreds of Birds that were smaller than Pidgeons, their backs were grey, their Bellies white, and the ends of their Tails black, and have a blackish line along the upper parts of the wings from the Tip of one to the other. We saw birds very like those near Fulklands Islands....only they had not the black streak along the wings; they fly low like sheer waters or mother Carys birds..." Aug. 31, 1769, in 39° 28' S., 147° 0' W. (These birds were seen almost daily up to Sept. 29.) Parkinson, in his account of this period, says they saw "a vast number of birds, of different kinds", including "various sorts of Procellariae." Saw "a Bird which was all white, except the Tip of each Wing; it was nearly as big as an Albetross", on Sept. 6, 1769, in 37° 49' S., 147° 30' W. He says they were the same as those seen April 3, 1769, near the Tuamotu group.
