List Of Shearwaters

This is a list of birds that belong to the shearwater group, of the Procellariidae Family and the Procellariiformes Order.

There is a still evolving taxonomic class that may or may not include the Genera Procellaria and Bulweria. This list includes them both. Some experts, most notably James Clements, haven't recognized the genus Pseudobulweria yet.

Famous quotes containing the words list of and/or list:

    Every morning I woke in dread, waiting for the day nurse to go on her rounds and announce from the list of names in her hand whether or not I was for shock treatment, the new and fashionable means of quieting people and of making them realize that orders are to be obeyed and floors are to be polished without anyone protesting and faces are to be made to be fixed into smiles and weeping is a crime.
    Janet Frame (b. 1924)

    We saw the machinery where murderers are now executed. Seven have been executed. The plan is better than the old one. It is quietly done. Only a few, at the most about thirty or forty, can witness [an execution]. It excites nobody outside of the list permitted to attend. I think the time for capital punishment has passed. I would abolish it. But while it lasts this is the best mode.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
