358 THE NESTS AND EGGS OF 



summer ; Africa, India, Burma, the Malay Archipelago, 

 and Australia in winter. An example has been obtained 

 on Helieoland. 



BRIDLED TERN. 



STERNA AN^STHETA, ScOpoH. 



One British record. It is difficult to believe that the 

 individual in question reached our area on abnormal 

 flight. The date of capture (September) is dead against 

 it ; the area it inhabits is also one from which it is 

 highly improbable that it would wander to our shores. 

 The species is very rightly excluded from the British 

 list. Habitat : Oceanic tropical zone. I have only in- 

 cluded the Sooty Tern and the Noddy Tern as British 

 species out of deference to their long standing on the 

 list. They may have occurred here on abnormal flight, 

 but the circumstance is very exceptional, and I should 

 like to see them expunged. 



PIED-BI LLED GREBE. 



PODILYMBUS PODICEPS {LilUlCZUS). 



One British record. A stray example of this species 

 might reach our islands, seeing that individuals have 

 occurred on the Bermudas, but there are circumstances 

 in the case which seem to suggest error, and I think the 

 bird is very rightly ignored. Habitat : America.
