INDEX OF SPECIES

The scientific names used in this index for Australian birds are those of the RAOU Handbook of Australian, New Zealand and Antarctic Birds vols 1 & 2 (Marchant & Higgins 1990, 1993), the Checklist of the Birds of Australia, Part 1, Non-Passerines, RAOU, 1975, and the Interim List of Australian Songbirds, Passerines, RAOU, 1975, with the amendments in Emu 76, 216-218, and 78, 80-87. The common names are those of HANZAB 1 & 2 and the 'Recommended English Names for Australian Birds', Emu 77 Supp., 245-307. 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 of A Checklist of the Birds of the World, Edward S. 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.
