Abstract
Previous knowledge of birds at Rocas Alijos was summarized most recently by Pitman (1985), who reviewed the few historical accounts and provided new information from his five cruises past the rocks between 1974 and 1983. He also presented unpublished information from visits made by other observers in 1953 and 1976.
