Abstract
In April 1958, Mr. Yasuaki Okada and I went to Torishima, the only known present-day breeding place of Steller's Albatross. A description of the island and of all the birds seen there as well as on the trip down and back (as far as Hachijojima) is given.
In closing I would like to express my gratitude to Mr. Hajime Fuchimoto, Chief of the Detached Island Section of Chuo Kishodai, without whose kind help we would never have been able to take the trip to Torishima. Also I would like to thank the numerous people at Chuo Kishodai, on the ship, and at the weather station who helped us and made the trip very pleasurable as well as successful.
