INDEX OF SPECIES

The scientific and common names used in this index for Australian birds are those of The and Species ofBirds ofAustralia and Its Territories (Christidis & Boles 1994) and of the Handbook of Australian, New Zealand and Antarctic Birds vols 1-3 (Marchant & Higgins 1990, 1993; Higgins & Davies 1996). Where synonyms have been used in this volume for either scientific or common names they are shown in brackets. For extra-limital birds the names used are those of the text or where either scientific or common names have been omitted those ofA Checklist ofthe Birds of the World, EdwardS. Gruson, Collins, 1976, are used. Minor differences in spelling, if any, have been disregarded. The species names are arranged in alphabetical order of genera. Only the first reference in any one paper is listed except where there is a tabular list, or lists, which includes the names of all birds mentioned in the paper, when this is the reference used.
