The breeding cycle and breeding range of Puffinus huttoni in the Seaward Kaikoura mountains are described. Measurements and characteristics of adult birds, their chicks and eggs at the breeding colonies are recorded. The effects of weather, moon phase, and snow on breeding and navigation are noted. Information about mortality and predation is given. Observations of P. huttoni near the New Zealand sea coast are outlined, and some historical background is presented.
