I noticed a good many Pseudiria columba on the
rocks on the south side of the island; they could be
seen wheeling about and alighting high up among the
crags. I saw two or three sitting on the roof of an old tumble-
down shed on the level ground on the south side.
In the evening went up to the light house.
Near the summit on the south side came across
a small bunch of Litra trile on a rocky ledge.
Noticed Pseudiria columba all the way up.
From the tower I could look down on the
northeast side on to the one of the gull colonies.
Most of the birds were on the ground but a few were
wheeling about. Saw two go after a black rabbit
several times. A few Lunda cirrhata were noted.
[illegible] This afternoon Fair shot a Lunda cirrhata
which rolled down among the gulls. It seized a gull by
the foot. The latter started out to see with the puffin
hanging on. It went an eighth of a mile before the
wounded puffin let go. The were followed by a swarm of
gulls.

Last night around midnight I heard the
chorus from Ptychoramplus aleuticus. There was a great
din reminding one of saw filing.
Then on the rocks Pseudiria columba sits with tarsi flat
on rock or ground.
