214 A SPEING TOUE IX POETUGAL. 



Portuguese coast in 'winter ; of the latter a larger number : 

 and it is confidently asserted that C. akcticus (Linn.) occa- 

 sionally makes its appearance. 



218. fllEiA TROiLE (Linn.), ' Common Guillemot,' Airo. 



Abundant in suitable localities ; much more rarely, but 

 occasionally seen is Alca toiida (Linn.), known to the 

 natives as I'orda mergulheira. 



[219. jFjiATERCULA ARCTiCA (Linn.), ^ ^uSin,' Fapagaio do 

 mar. 

 There are three specimens of this bird in the Museum ; 

 all immature, and all captured in different years on the 

 Lake of Albufeira, south of the Tagus.J 

 There is also a fine specimen in the Museum at Lisbon of 

 Alca impennis, the ' Great Auk ; ' but this has no pretence 

 to Portuguese origin, as it was coaxed by the present king 

 from his fathor-in-law, Victor Emmanuel, and was brought 

 from Turin. I may here add that the late king, Dom Pedro, 

 was an enthusiastic Ornithologist, and to his exertions, ably 

 seconded by Professor du Bocage, the present very satis- 

 factory state of the Museum at Lisbon is due. The late 

 king's collection of birds is now incorporated in the national 

 collection, of which the present king, Dom Luiz, is a muni- 

 ficent patron. 



220. jPhalacrocorax carbo (Linn.), ' Cormorant,' Corvo ma- 



rinJio. 



221. •j-Phalacrocorax graculus (Linn.), ' Shag,' Corvo marinho. 



222. fSuLA BASSANA (Linn.), ' Gannet,' Ganso patola. 



All three species found in various parts of the coast. 

 Pelicanus onocra'tulus (Linn.), ' The White Pelican,' Peli- 

 cano, is also, li-om time to time, seen in Portugal. 



223. -fSTERNA fluviatilis (Naum.), ' Common Tern,' Ando- 



rinlia do mar. 



224. -j-Sterna MiNUTA (Linn.), 'Lesser Tern.' 



225. fSxERNA CANTiACA (Lath.), * Sandwicli Tern.' 



These tliree species are well known in Portugal.
