Petrels, but show a heavy, labored flight, varied by a short soar. As the two centre tail feathers project beyond the rest, the birds can be readily identified as they follow a steamer for tit-bits. The fifty Australian birds included in the important order of Waders are remarkably like such birds found inhabiting other regions of the globe, shore conditions apparently being somewhat similar the world over. It is interesting to note that thirteen of the forty-four Australian members of this family of Plover- like birds are also found in Britain, and that most of the others are direct representatives of closely-related birds found in other countries. No less than twenty-eight of these birds are merely visitors here, for they breed away in the far North. Many even.
