Pelagic seabird surveys were made during 11 trans-pacific round navigations of car-transport ships between Japan and U. S. A., March 1983-February 1985. In a total of 124 recorded seabird species (5 Orders, 14 Families), the Procellariiformes included: Diomedeidae 2, Procellariidae 29 and Hydrobatidae 10 species. Their distribution showed the following patterns: 1. Boreal to temperate dispersal pattern 2. Temperate to subtropical dispersal pattern 3. Coastal patterns (Japanese and U. S. west coasts) 4. Subtropical endemic pattern 5. Subtropical to northward dispersal pattern. These distributional patterns reflected the specific adaptive levels to water temperature. The seasonal advance and retreat of migratory front could be traced in some trans-equatorial southern hemisphere species, and the main migratory lane was suggested in the Hawaiian leeward waters. In a few related species pairs, mutual shifts of main distributional sea areas were noticed.
