Cogswell 1949 Suffenus creatopus July 20 - ocean, 4-8 mi. W. of Pt. Pinos, Monterey Co., slightly S.

Best distinguishing features at somewhat greater range are the white underparts, with dusky under-tail coverts and irregular gray on white under wing surface (especially noticable on axillaries).

[On our return, somewhere in this same area, saidlaw Williams saw 3 of this species flying together]. July 26 - N. side of Pt. Pinos, Monterey Co., Calif. one of the few shearwaters which was out of the main line of flight - closer to shore [see R. griseus] was this species,
