We first saw the Sandwich Tern on the lake at Furnas, having been attracted 

 by its unmistakable cry ; subsequently a few pairs were seen at Sete C'idades. In 

 both instances the birds were very wild, and we were unable to procure a sj)ecimen

Among the large colony of Common Terns tonnd breeding on Villa Islet, 

 Santa Maria, on June 1st, we saw a specimen of the Sooty Tern, and carefully

 this bird well by sight, and that the same solitary individual had been there during 

 the jirevious season. As we had landed on the island without a gun, we were 

 unable to procure the bird.]
