y would seem almost deserted.We found a number of young birds dead, but the mortality from nat-ural causes is not large, considering the number of this species. Some-thing must have disturbed the birds earlier in the nesting season;possibly their eggs may have been taken. An accompanying map (p. 14), on which I have indicated the lar-ger rookeries, will show about the area occupied by this species. Atthe present time there are approximately 180,000 Laysan albatrosses.
