Abstract
DURING the past few years there has been a growing opinion on the part of the general public and those connected with our fisheries that the enormous number of sea-birds on our coasts are inimical to the fisheries and to a less extent to agriculture. This view has been fostered to a large degree by the public expression of irresponsible statements and by the fact that we do not possess any exact and trustworthy knowledge of the nature of the food of these birds. Even amongst ornithologists and other students of wild-bird life widely divergent views are held.
