Fratercula corniculata. Horned Puffin. Uncommon out of the coastal waters of the Aleutians. Two birds were observed at 46° 04'N 173° 00'E on 16 October. It is interesting to note that the large numbers of puffins picked up on Kure Island in 1963 were this species and not the following. Lunda cirrhata. Tufted Puffin. The most common alcid in pelagic waters covered by our cruise. The Tufted Puffin was found as far south as 43° 49'N 173° 04'E.
