76 RESIDENTS AND MIGRANTS. 
ARCTIC TERN. Sterna hirundo, Linneus. 
A summer visitant. ‘This is the Sterna macroura of 
Naumann, ‘ Isis,’ 1819, p. 1847; Sterna arctica of 
Temminck, Man. d’Orn. (1820) vol. ii. p. 742. 
ROSEATE TERN. Sterna dougallii, Montagu*. 
A rare summer visitant. The breeding-stations of 
this and the last-named species will be found ad- 
verted to by Mr. A. G. More in ‘The Ibis’ for 1865, 
p. 402. 
SANDWICH TERN. Sterna cantiaca, Gmelin. 
A summer visitant, but very partial in its choice of 
breeding-ground. 
LESSER TERN. Sterna minuta, Linneus. 
A summer visitant, but somewhat restricted in its 
distribution during the nesting-season. 
BLACK TERN. Sterna fissipes, Linneus. 
A spring and autumn migrant—but formerly a 
regular summer visitant, breeding in several of the 
eastern counties. 
LITTLE GULL. Larus minutus, Pallas. 
Irregular visitant in autumn; the individuals ob- 
tained are usually birds of the year or adults in winter 
plumage. 
* The more appropriate name, Sterna paradisea, Brimnich, is un- 
fortunately precluded from use, under the rules for zoological nomen- 
clature, in consequence of haying been bestowed prior to 1766, the 
date of the 12th edition of Linneus’s ‘ Systema Nature.’
