Journal Feb 19 AT SEA. Saw a weird Procelliformes today: It was bulwer size maybe [illegible] but with slightly shorter wings. Sort of like a small all dark Bonin. It was brown above with a white cap and lighter brown on the underside of the wings. It appeared for all the world like a Hawaiian moddy but it was definately a procelliformes and probably a petrel. I think it had a roundal tail but am not certain. I did not see any fork. It [illegible] looked like a cross between a harowar mod and a Bonin in appearance. Alexander has no bird in it which resembles it at all. Feb 21 - Samoa. Last time I was here I went to a place.
