Sterna oceani Brehm, Handh. Naturg. Voj. Deutschl. p. 1019 (1831 — " Sie bewohnt die Insehi des 

 Weltmeeres. na»ientiich die Kusten Holland.s "). 



It is impossible to say if Brehm had any clear idea about the " islands in 

 the ocean" ; very likely this was a theory of his, and he actually described 

 Sterna oceani from specimens from Holland, and probably a male shot in 

 Holland, 11. vi. 1827, is actually his type.

 (1831 — "Sie lebt den Sommer iiber an den Kiisten der Faiojr und anderer nordwestlichen 

 Inseln, kommt im Winter, be8onder.s jung. zuweilen an die deutschcn Kiisten der Nordsee "). 



Brehm must have had one or more Faeroe specinens ; but he described the 

 upperside as slate-black, while in the bird from Faeroe in his collection, and 

 surely ui all Faeroe birds the upperside is slaty grey, not black, as in L. fuscus 

 fuscus. Probably Brelim's description is fault}', and the bird is his collection : 

 (J ad., Faeroe Islands, 7. vii. 1828 is the real type.
