Records were kept of seabirds seen during 30 watches, totalling about 45 hours, on a voyage from Sydney to Buenos Aires via New Zealand and the Straits of Magellan.  Results are presented in the form of an annotated species list.  Passage movements of Puffinus griseus and Pterodroma lessonii were observed, and records of Pterodroma axillaris, P. inexpectata, Pufinus bulleri and P. puffinus appear to be of distributional significance.  A probable sight record of Pterodroma magentae is discussed in detail.
