About a sixth of the birds recorded on the Australian continent are seabirds. This handbook is the first to deal comprehensively with the group of birds. The systematic account covers 104 species - covering not only those that breed on or visit the continent but also some species which are likely to occur in Australian waters though they have not been satisfactorily recorded. Although nearly 40 years old now it is still a useful book on this group of birds.
