Herewith is issued Part III. of Volume IV. It contains an account of the representatives 



of the Orders Fulicanse, Alectorides and Limicola; 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 Cavley, who was also responsible for hand-colouring the plates 



of eggs in the coloured copies.
