It contains an account of the representatives of the Orders Fulicariae, Alectorides and Limicolae found breeding in Australia and Tasmania. The figures of eggs, which are of the natural size, were reproduced by the heliotype process at the Government Printing Office, from photographs of the specimens, taken under the direction of the Government printer, Mr. W.A. Gullick, and the supervision of Mr. A.E. Dyer. As in the previous Parts, the illustrations of birds are reproduced from drawings made by the late Mr. Neville Cayley, who was also responsible for hand-colouring the plates of eggs in the coloured copies." - R.
