Abstract
On the 31st October and the 28th November last year I
visited the Actaeons, touching on the first occasion at
Southport Island, and, on the second, at the Blanche Rock,
of shipwreck notoriety. The object of my visit was to gain
information on the breeding of our sea birds on these out-ofthe-
way islets, and the following notes purport to give an
account of the nesting of the few species which were found
on them.
