King, Warren B. 1964 35 Looks at Newell's Shearwaters. Underwing has pattern like Bonin Island Petrel with thick black edging. "Scared" flight pattern is usually dragnostic, at least enough to tell one it isn't Wedgetail. Very dark grey on back. Mystery Petrel above had rich dark brown on back. In all, a fine day with great variation and good numbers. 10° N is at the edge of the equatorial counter current and the nutrients found in the lower part of the euphotic zone around 50°N come to the surface here. More about this later. March 29--At 0015 on the 29th of March David Au caught a Storm Petrel which had landed on deck during a hydro station, while the ship was motionless, apparently blinded by the spotlight used for taking the hydro stations. After photographing the bird alive at 0900 it was collected. Field No. 0501. Soft part colors: bill black; legs and feet black; iris dark; gape coral red. It is either Harcourts Storm Petrel O. castro or Leaches Storm Petrel O. leucorhoa. The latter seems the more probable since the white rump is nearly divided by dark feathers in the middle. It is presumably what we have been calling Harcourts Type B. The wing profile and shade of brown appear to be the same. Started off morning with Newell's at dawn, perhaps flushed off water by approach of ship. At 0644 an Albatross was seen 500+ yards off bow. Only the silhouette was seen, no colors or patterns. At 0645 a non-molting Dark-rumped Petrel was seen looking quite normal compared with the splotching jobs of the past two days. At 0710 Sundell saw a Bonin Island Petrel in company of two unidentified petrels. Sooty Shearwaters started at 0720 - 5- 3 probables throughout the day, heading
