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.
