15. Calm this morn: went in the boat and killd Procellaria velox, Nectris munda and fuliginosa, which two last are a new genus between Procellaria and Diomedea: this we reckon a great acquisition to our bird collection. [31] My stay out today was much shortned by a breeze of wind which brought me aboard by 11 o clock and before night blew very fresh.
