	Flight Behavior of the Procellariiformes
		Murphy's (1936: 771) statements are worth quoting: "The diving petrels comprise a homogeneous, monogeneric, strikingly distinct group of Procel- lariiformes, the members of which exhibit few characters that might indicate their relationships with other divisions of that order....
		SUMMARY It appears that the Procellariiformes, with the probable exception of the Pelecanoididae, may use feet and legs while flying.
		In the most common form of this behavior, the wings are used as gliders, while the bird runs with alternate strokes of the feet along the surface of the water.

	petrel - HighBeam Encyclopedia
		There are two families of petrels: the storm petrels (Hydrobatidae) and the diving petrels (Pelecanoididae).
		Many skim the waves so closely that they give the appearance of walking on the water.
		Petrels are classified in the phylum Chordata, subphylum Vertebrata, class Aves, order Procellariiformes, families Hydrobatidae and Pelecanoididae.

	Tube-Nosed Marine Birds
		The family of more buoyant storm-petrels, Hydrobatidae, contains the smallest of the tube-noses -- some species are hardly larger than a swallow.
		The family of diving-petrels, Pelecanoididae, has an auk-like appearance and reduced wings that birds use for underwater propulsion.
		Albatrosses and storm-petrels feed at the surface of the water as do many gull-sized petrels, shearwaters, and fulmars.

	Paterson et al.--Species status of New Zealand P. georgicus
		Preliminary molecular analysis of Pelecanoides georgicus (Procellariiformes: Pelecanoididae) on Whenua Hou (Codfish Island): implications for its taxonomic status
		Abstract Using sequences from the central and 3 regions of the mitchondrial small subunit (12S) ribosomal RNA gene for six procellariiform species, this study confirms that the population of Pelecanoides georgicus on Whenua Hou (Codfish Island), New Zealand, is most closely related to P.
		As our preliminary sequence data suggest that the Whenua Hou population may have diverged from its parent population, it may deserve recognition in its own right.

	Diving-Petrel family
		There is no "family book" per se of which I'm aware (there are numerous coffee-table "survey" books that include diving-petrels among other seabirds), but a good introduction to the family, with nice photos of two species onshore, is in Carboneras (1992).

	Albatrosses, Petrels and Relatives
		The Wandering Albatross can fly for hours without flapping its wings at all.
		The exceptions are the Diving Petrels (Pelecanoididae) which have much shorter wings and are more like Auks in the way they fly.
		The fossil record goes back at least 36 million years.
