ADDENDUM
The following paragraph was inadvertently omitted from Vol. 11, Number 3, page 94 (Seabird
Islands No. 178, Six Mile Island, Archipelago of the Recherche, Western Australia).
Stema bergii Crested Tern - About 1 000 pairs nest on the central part of the island on bare
granite and shell grit, and on
Carpobrotus. On 8 January 1986 all birds were on eggs (fide L.
Spurr). In February, young ranged from newly hatched chicks to black-capped speckled birds
almost ready to fly. Speckled and brownish runners tended to be in loose groups of about 100.
Twenty addled eggs were found in the colony.
