A clear Matsudaira's Storm-petrel I saw in Taidung in Aug 2004 was uniform mid-pale brown above; noticeably broad-winged; and flew with slow, steady wing action in a direct path (not "charging about" like Swinhoe's).

无论头顶上的天空是灰色还是蓝色，海上总是波涛汹涌——有时海浪富有节奏感而令人愉悦，有时我们的船就像在海浪上跳华尔兹。在黑暗中，把船吹得直打转的劲风更猛烈了，但是航船像一条铁蛇向前推进，穿越无边的海洋。当船只朝南航行时，你不会很确切地发现南极大

他还给王子讲那些红色的朱鹭，它们排成长长的一行站在尼罗河的岸边，用它们的尖嘴去捕捉金鱼；还讲到司芬克斯，它的岁数跟世界一样长久，住在沙漠中，通晓世间的一切；他讲纽那些商人，跟着自己的驼队缓缓而行，手中摸着狼冶做的念珠；他讲到月亮山的国王，他皮肤黑得像乌木，崇拜一块巨大的水晶；他讲到那条睡在棕祸树上的绿色大莽蛇，要20个僧侣用蜜糖做的糕点来喂它；他又讲到那些小矮人，他们乘坐扁平的大树叶在湖泊中往来横渡
