Excerpt from Comparative Feeding Ecology of Sea Birds of a Tropical Oceanic Island This analysis of the food of sea birds on Christmas Island forms part of a study whose object was to describe and compare the sexual and molt cycles of various species of sea birds and to try to relate them to the feeding ecology of the different species. In the course of routine work, several thousand birds were handled, and some individuals of all the species regurgitated (or dropped) food, which was collected and preserved. In addition, some catching was carried out with the prime objective of obtaining food samples. It is the analysis of the 800 food samples obtained which forms the basis of this paper. Samples were collected on eight fairly evenly spaced visits to the island be tween March 1963 and February 1964, with a single later visit in June 1964 (fig. L: the short visit at the end of November 1963 was treated as part of the pre ceding Visit, while the January 1964 Visit was interrupted for a few days in the middle of the month). It is thus possible to compare food obtained at different seasons, an obviously necessary preliminary to understanding the breeding re gimes of the different species. It was unfortunately not practicable to sample directly the availability of food organisms in the area of Christmas Island during the course of the study. However, some relevant information is provided by the publications of the Pacific Oceanic Fishery Investigations (now the Biological Laboratory, Honolulu) of the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries, us.
