St. Dougallii, S. Hirundo, S. arctica, and §. minuta, are 
regular summer visitants to Ireland, the S. Hirundo and S. 
aretica being much the most common and widely-distributed 
species. These two, with S. Dougallii, breed in a small low 
rocky islet near the entrance to Belfast Bay*. St. nigra is an 
occasional visitant; and many years ago was known by Mr. R. 
Ball to breed at a small lake in the county of Cork. St. Boysz 
is annually shot upon the coast, and may perhaps have breed- 
ing-haunts in some of the islets that are rarely visited by the 
naturalist. St. stolida has a place in the catalogue from two 
specimens having been taken at sea between Tusker Light- 
house (co. Wexford) and Dublin Bay. Larus capistratus (of 
British authors), L. ridibundus, L. Canus, L. argentatus, L. 
fuscus, and L. marinus, are resident species. L. Rissa is a 
regular summer visitant. LL. glaucus is of occasional occurrence 
on every quarter of the coast. ZL. Sabini has in four instances 
been obtained in the bays of Belfast and Dublin; Z- Islan- 
dicus has twice been noticed}, and ZL. minutus once: of the 
latter species; an adult bird in summer plumage was shot 
upon the river Shannon. In the Appendix to Ross’s Second 
Voyage it is remarked, under the head of Larus eburneus, 
* §. Dougallit likewise breeds on islets off the Dublin coast. 
+ In March 1832 I saw a specimen of L. Jslandicus in the shop of Mr. Glen- 
non, bird-preserver, Dublin: it had been sent him early in the winter of 1831- 
32, from the West of Ireland. The other example was obtained by the Ordnance 
Survey in Strangford Lough.
