The following report summarizes the bird and marine mammal ob- servations conducted aboard the R/V THOMAS WASHINGTON during EASTROPAC cruise No. 75 from 15 February to 15 April, 1968. During this period 367.4 hours of diurnal observation were conducted over a distance of 3660 nautical miles with 2984 birds observed. Cooperation from the crew and scientific party personnel was ex- cellent and much appreciated, especially when launching and retrieving the skiff. Special thanks go to Captain Noel Ferris and Dr. Warren Wooster who were most generous with their time and assistance. ITINERARY 15 February, 1968 1400 Depart San Diego 18 March 0600 Arrive Isla San Cristobal 18 March 0900 Depart Isla San Cristobal 18 March 1300 Arrive Isla Baltra 18 March 1900 Depart Isla Baltra 27 March 2300 Arrive Isla Baltra 28 March 0600 Depart Isla Baltra 9 April 0900 Arrive Acapulco, Mexico 9 April 1900 Depart Acapulco, Mexico 15 April 1530 Arrive San Diego The cruise departed San Diego and proceeded directly to 20°N119°W; then due south to 20°S, east to 112°W, and north to 7°48'S. At that point we departed the cruise plan, because of an ill crewman, and pro- ceeded directly to the Galapagos Islands for an air evacuation. We returned to 10°S 98°W, on the leg originally planned for the R/V JORDAN, and continued north. Just before reaching the equator one of the scientific party swallowed a piece of glass which cut his esophagus, and we again departed for the Galapagos Islands for an air evacuation. Again the ship returned westward to 98°W and the equator, where scheduled current measure- ments were conducted for one week. Upon completing this work, the ship turned north along 98°W and then sailed to Acapulco for refueling before returning home along the Mexican coast. Diurnal observations were conducted from the bridge during nearly all of the underway time. The WASHINGTON'S skiff was used for collecting, primarily during the current meter studies at the equator, but also at other places on the trip. Observations were conducted during a portion of the return trip along the Mexican coast, but these data have little meaning outside of species present and general abundance. The following division of the data into areas is based upon numbers and types of birds present, and, to a lesser extent, oceanographic factors. AREA A California Current 16 February 1968 Characterized by the presence of albatross, gulls, and alcids.

AREA B 17-21 February 1968 This area is one of low bird density with a very high (85 percent) proportion of storm petrels. AREA C The North Equatorial Current System 22-24 February, 5 April 1968 This area comprises the North Equatorial Current and its counter- current. Bird densities are higher than in areas to the north and south. About equal numbers of shearwaters, petrels, storm petrels, and terns occupy this area. This was the only area with significant numbers of large petrels. AREA D South Equatorial Current 25-27 February, 24-25, 28 March, 3-4 April 1968 This area is much like area B with very low bird densities and a high (84 percent) proportion of storm petrels. AREA E Zone between South Equatorial Current and Central Pacific Water Mass 28 February, 14-16 March, 20-23 March 1968 This is an area of water-mix, with patches of water having varying salinities and temperatures. It has very high bird densities and the largest concentration of Sooty Terns recorded for the trip. AREA F Central Pacific Water Mass 29 February to 13 March 1968 This area has a very low bird density. Sooty Terns were the most abundant species, but almost equal numbers of shearwater/petrels, storm petrels and tropicbirds were present. AREA G Galapagos Islands Area 17, 19, 26 March 1968 The Galapagos Islands' birds, chiefly the Galapagos Storm Petrel.and the Swallow-tailed Gull, predominate in this area. AREA H Coastal 6-8 April 1968, Boobies (84 percent) are predominant in this southern coastal area. SPECIES ACCOUNTS Only those species for which there is additional information are included. For the others see the Tables by area. WEDGE-TAILED SHEARWATER One dark phase collected All Wedge-tailed Shearwaters seen south of the equator (except two near the Galapagos) were dark phase birds, indicating that these are birds breeding in southern islands, probably the Marquesas. Birds seen north of the equator were almost evenly divided between dark and light phase, with a few more light phase than dark. Most of these birds were observed in the high bird density areas of the equatorial currents.

AUDUBON SHEARwater Two birds collected at the Galapagos This may be the most abundant bird in the immediate vicinity of the Galapagos Islands. Thousands were seen along with many other birds in a hydrographic front at the northwest end of Isabela. Huge "balls" of bait were present here and the shearwaters were walking on the water, quite like the storm petrels do, and then just walking under water and not coming up for as long as 20 or 30 seconds. This behavior was very common at this hydrographic front. Only one Audubon Shearwater was observed at any distance from the Galapagos Islands. SOOTY SHEARWATER The three birds observed just west of the Galapagos Islands may be the first records of this species within the island waters. Sooty Shearwaters were seen in large numbers all along the southern half of Baja California, Mexico. PHOENIX/TAHITI PETREL These large petrels were present in the northern part of the area and also in the southern part, but are absent from a wide area in the center. These two petrels are extremely difficult to distinguish in the field, and only very close observation could enable one to differentiate between them. None of either species was positively identified. JUAN FERNANDEZ PETREL WHITE-NECKED PETREL P. externa There was a small number of these birds in the North Equatorial Current system, not nearly the number which was in these waters in August and September 1967. One White-necked Petrel was positively identified on 23 February (see drawing on at-sea daily log). All the rest were Juan Fernandez or only identifiable to the species level. STORM PETRELS This confusing group has stirred much discussion during the past and I shall add my bit to the confusion. The characteristics I used in determining species are as follows: First: Galapagos Storm Petrels follow the ship and are readily identified by their large white blaze; second: the dividing line on the rump was used to identify white-rumped Leachs at close range; third: Harcourt Storm Petrel was identified by its all-white rump (i.e., no dividing line), and squared off tail. However, I feel rather doubtful about some of the birds which I recorded as Harcourt Storm Petrel as I have recently seen some of Dick Crossin's specimens from the JORDAN cruise. They were in molt and the usual Leach characteristics were not very evident. During five days of collecting at 98°W on the equator I collected 22 Galapagos Storm Petrels and only seven Leach Storm Petrels.
