940 ADDENDUM — SECTION D. 



which goes down to New Zealand to breed, as well as that of 

 one or two resident forms, such as the Black Stilt and a 

 Shore-plover, indicate the probability that in former ages there 

 have been Antarctic breeding-grounds, these forms being the 

 remnant of breeders in that region prior to the Glacial 

 epoch. 



In tracing out the geographical distribution of the Aus- 

 tralian Limicolce, I shall first follow their migration to or 

 from their Asiatic summer habitat, and then deal with their 

 westerly range in Europe and Africa, glancing finally at the 

 migration of such of our species as are found in the new 

 world. 



The classification adopted is that of my work on the 

 " Birds of Ceylon," following which the Limicolce of our 

 region divide themselves as under : —
