Abstract: Observations of the Cape Pigeon (Daption capense) have been made during 16 years in the Tasman Sea and in New Zealand coastal waters, and for three years between New Zealand, Fiji, Tonga and Norfolk Island. Abundance and seasonal distribution have been plotted on four charts and a transect diagram. The relationship of abundance and distribution in the Tasman Sea and New Zealand is shown on three graphs. Between November and June (hydrological summer and autumn), few birds were recorded but during the rest of the year Cape Pigeons were widespread and abundant, even as far north as 24 degrees S in September.
