MUTTON BIRDS
Sir-J.D.McD., in his reyiew of Sex and the Nature of Things, mentions the author’s statement about the mutton bird which nests in millions "on certain small islands off the Australian coast." Staying in Tasmania recently I found that country stores kept barrels of mutton birds. I rather think they were salted, but they did come from certain small islands off the Australian coast. Apparently the author did not know the genus existed off the coast of New Zea-
land as well.
