Recoveries of ringed giant petrels Macronectes giganteus

The ringing of Giant Petrels by F.I.D.S. parties in 1957‐58 and 1958‐59 is reviewed and the presence of a newly discovered rookery below the Antarctic Circle noted. A comparative analysis is made of the numbers of recoveries received and the difference in their distribution amongst the southern continents during 1958 and 1959. Details of 112 recoveries are given in an Appendix.
