ZOOLOGY. 53. 
On the 30th of April, 1847, I shot several specimens at 
Spanish Point. They appear about the end of April, and 
are very common at Spanish Point, and in Castle Harbour, 
where they breed. I got their eggs at Gurnet-head Rock, 
on the 17th of June, 1848. I have also seen a few roseate 
terns at the North Rock. 
ComMON TERN (S. hirwndo). I have seen a few of these 
terns at Gurnet-head Rock, but only succeeded in shooting 
a couple of them near the entrance to St. George’s harbour, 
on the 17th of June, 1848; the only specimens hitherto 
obtained. They breed along with S. Dougallii, in Castle 
Harbour. 
Sooty TERN (S. fudzginosa). Dr. Cole shot a specimen of 
this tern in October, 1846. During the whole time I was 
quartered in Bermuda, I only saw one of these birds, and 
that in the year 1848: I was walking on the Sand Hills, 
and saw a bird apparently dead on the ground ; I put down 
my gun and picked the bird up, and was just putting him 
carefully in paper, when my prize thought fit to come to life 
and flew away, taking me so much by surprise that I never 
thought of usmg my gun. It was a most beautiful speci- 
men, and must have been driven on shore by some heavy 
gale. 
Noppy TERN (NS. stolida). One example only is recorded; 
killed by Capt. Tolcher (56th Reet.), near Ireland Island, on 
the 12th of September, 1854. 
SABINE’'S GULL (Larus Sabine). A single specimen was 
shot by Colonel Drummond, near St. George’s, but the date 
I do not recollect. 
Kartrwake GUuLuL (L. éridactylus). I found the. first 
specimen of this gull. near Spanish Point, on the 5th of
