The Houtman Abrolhos are an archipelago of coral reef islands off the coast of Western Australia. It is renowned for its shipwrecks, most notably the Batavia and Zeewijk. It is also highly significant for its natural history; for example it is one of the most important seabird breeding sites in Australia.

Public domain sources on the Houtman Abrolhos that should eventually sit in this category include:

  • the chapter on the Houtman Abrolhos in Crawford Pasco's A Roving Commission;
  • the chapter on the Houtman Abrolhos in William Saville-Kent's The Naturalist in Australia;
  • numerous journal articles by members of the Percy Sladen Trust Expedition, most of which were published in the Journal of the Linnean Society (Zoology);
  • The Abrolhos Tragedy, William Siebenhaar's translation of Pelsart's Ongeluckige Voyagie.
  • Notes on the Zoology of Houtman's Abrolhos by A. J. Campbell.
