【 摘 要 】

In 1989, 4194 kilometres of coast of New Zealand were patrolled and 8221 dead seabirds were found as part of the Beach Patrol Scheme. Unusual finds were a Snares Crested Penguin (Eudyptes robustus), two White-capped Noddies (Anous tenuirostris minutus) and a Brown Booby (Sula serrator leucogaster). A summary is given of the coastal and monthly distributions of Pelecanoides, Phaethon and Fregata species found during the 1943-1988 period. Overall, 11 472 Pelecanoides urinatrix were found, but 10 or fewer of the other three species were found.
