General Summary Fewer birds were seen this month than last, due mainly to the fact that the ship passed in darkness through the area just north of Oahu where large numbers of Noddy and Sooty Terns were seen in May. However, large numbers of Sooty Terns were seen over 100 miles north of Oahu on 1 July. A new record of 26 flocks was recorded on this date, mainly small groups of Sooty Terns. Except for Juan Fernandez Petrels, numbers this month were roughly comparable to June 1964. Six hundred and eighty-seven Juan Fernandez Petrels were seen in the southern part of the area. Numbers comparable to this were not seen until July last year. Interesting sightings were 8 Kermadec Petrels, 4 Phoenix Island or Tahiti Petrels and a few possible Pterodroma leucoptera. Species Account Black-footed Albatross Two birds of this species were seen this month, compared with only one last June. One was in the northeast corner and the other one was seen at 16° N. It followed the ship for four hours. The other one did not follow the ship. Wedge-tailed Shearwater Numbers increased slightly over last month's total and June 1964's total, 1054 individuals being seen. Dark phase birds were more numerous in the southern part of the area than May and got as far north as 15°. Almost all of these dark birds were molting. Several birds were flying in a northerly direction indicating perhaps movement to more northerly feed- ing grounds. This would account for the increase this month over May with
