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.
