ALBATROSSES (DIOMEDEIDiE) The albatrosses are large ocean birds of the southern hemi- sph ere, with very great expanse of wings and power of flight. These birds have rarely, if ever, been found on our eastern coasts; four species visit our Pacific coast. They are rarely found near shore, being able, seemingly, to remain on the wing without ever tiring. Two rec- ords are given of two Wandering Albatross of ^.j^e gpecies. 1. The Wandering Albatross (80. 1. DioniMea ixulans) is a large species of dusky to white color, according to age. Length, 50 ; wing, 28. Reported from the western coast of Florida,.
