noted in the grid were Leach's. As has been noted before, the density distrib- ution followed no obvious pattern; although distribution changes since last cruise were evident, they are not explained. The south section of the grid had three times as great a density as the central area, and there appeared to be a general trend of storm petrel movement towards the north. This, along with data suggesting an influx into the north section, indicates that a northward movement is underway. Two specimens were collected during this survey. Both were in moderate fat condition, but neither had gonads near breeding condition. Jaegers 0 This was the first eastern grid survey on which no jaegers were recorded. Glaucous-winged Gull (Larus glaucescens) 1 A single immature was noted in the central section. Herring Gull (Larus argentatus) 23 + 3 nocturnal The population decline of this species in the grid is continuing. Highest density was recorded in the north section, with a virtual absence in the central and southern areas. The gonads of one adult collected within ten miles of the grid were near breeding condition. Black-legged Kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla) 0 This is the first grid survey to date on which no kittiwakes were seen. Sabine's Gull (Xema sabini) 1 A single sighting in the north section was the first grid record. Red Phalarope (Fulicius phalaropus) 285 + 23 nocturnal As on the last survey, the Red Phalarope was the most abundant species in the grid, even though the density has decreased. The distribution again appeared to follow no pattern, except that the highest density has shifted to the north
