In 1978 at Antipodes Islands, breeding was confirmed and distribution of breeding sites was investigated for Snares Cape pigeons (Daption capense australe), subantarctic fairy prions (Pachyptila turtur subantarctica), soft-plumaged petrels (Pterodroma mollis mollis), subantarctic little shearwaters (Puffinus assimilis elegans) and grey-backed storm petrels (Garrodia nereis). Breeding seasons, habits and habitats at Antipodes Islands of petrels not exceeding white-chinned petrels (Procellaria aequinoctialis) in size are described. Notes are included from Prince Edward and Gough Islands on some of these species studied in 1979.
