In fact the albatrosses were astonishingly fearless and would sometimes walk up and examine some portion of our belongings as if they had known us ; As a man walks among them, the albatrosses scarcely step aside to let him pass; they may even peck at his trousers. Two species of albatross dominate the scene. Albatrosses as a group (there are about thirteen species) are southern, but three belong to the North Pacific Ocean. Both the Laysan species are about as large as a goose, but they are not as large as the wandering albatross. This last, with a wing spread of up to 11 ^4 feet and a weight of about eighteen pounds, is the largest flying bird, if we accept wing spread as the f49'.
