FUETHEK CONTEIBUTION TO THE HUNGARIAN ORNIS. 359 



24. Chen hyperboreus (Pall.). 



In his i)Osthumous notes S. Petényi mentions four specimens (Zeit- 

 schrift f. ges. Ornith. I. p. 29. 1884), one of which was shot in the Comitat 

 of Pest in March 1810. I saw two of them on the Puszta of Tetétlen in the 

 same Comitat in November 1893. They were in company with wild geese 

 and remained 2 — 3 days ; in spite of all my exertions I could not get within 

 gunshot of them. On the strength of these observations I incorporate the 

 Che)} hyperboreus in the list of the Hungarian Avifauna. 



25. Tadorna tadorna (Linn.). 



A rare visitor to Hungary. Our first authentical specimen was shot at 

 Pancsova last year on March IS-''^ and was procurred by De. Lendl. 



26. Marmonetta angustirostris (Ménétr.). 



The first Hungarian specimen was got from the lake of Velencze on 

 the 1-«' of August 1893 and came into possession of the Museum. As far 

 as my information goes another one was shot in the same place in the 

 following year. New for the Hungarian Avifauna. 



27. Larus cachinnans Pall. 



I do not know of any Hungarian typical specimen of Larus argen- 

 talus. "Wherever this name occurs is used by our Authors it must be re- 

 ferred to Larus aicJihinans, which Mediterranean form breeds in colonies 

 on the rocky coast, especially on the riff opposite Zengg. 



28. Larus affinis Eeinchardt. 



The specimen, which under the name of Larus fuscus was exhibited 

 at the H-'^'^ Ornithological Congress of Budapest (Madarász, Erläuterun- 

 gen etc., p. 119. No S95) belongs to this species and was shot at the lake 

 of Fertő in 1875. One of the three L. fuscus in the Zágráb Museum is also 

 a L. afflms. New to the Hungarian Fauna. 



29. Larus melanocephalus Natt. 



In olden times when Baldamus used to come to Hungary to complete 

 his oological collection, the Larus melanocephalus was abundant at the
