two individuals. There is a possibility that some Bulweria bulwerii were also being observed. These birds, if correctly identified, represent the most northerly distribution record of this species. Phalacrocorax sp. Cormorant. Confined almost entirely to coastal waters. Our most southerly record is at 50°N about 80 miles from land. Philacte canagica. Emperor Goose. On 3 October, four were seen flying south at 51° 51'N 172° 58'E. Somateria molissima. Common Eider. Common around the coastal waters of Adak. Histrionicus histrionicus. Harlequin Duck. Common in the coastal areas and one seen 50 miles south of Amchitka Island. Pluvialis dominica. Golden Plover. We first saw this plover 30 miles northwest of Kiska Island heading south on 1 October. On 2 October a flock of five circled the ship at 52° 25'N, 173°E before heading 210°. On 10 October a single bird circled the ship several times at 46° 46'N 173° 30'E before heading 240°. Sixteen minutes later a Golden Plover again circled the ship and again headed 240°. These observations probably represent the same bird. On 11 October at 46° 26'N 172° 50'E another plover circled the ship but we were unable to tell in which direction he headed. Arenaria interpres. Ruddy Turnstone. Our only sight record was at 50° 42'N 172° 50'E. The bird was on a heading of 160° which was nearly a straight line from our position to Kure Island. Phalaropus fulicarius. Red Phalarope. Several flocks of 10 to 20 observed in the vicinity of 41°N but not seen elsewhere.
