kept for them, and eventually they were found by Ketteringham to have 
settled in Feltwell Fen. I rather think, too, that others were seen and some 
even shot in the district about the same time. I am not aware of more than 
one reported instance of this species having bred in this country since 
(ef. Stevenson and Southwell, B. Norf. iii. p. 315).]

(These must have been bought at Paris by Mr. Wolley on his way back 
from Switzerland, and were subsequently skewn to M. Hardy, of Dieppe, who 
doubted their genuineness ; but the latter had a poor opinion of M. Lefévre’s 
honesty. ]

[§ 43883. Zhree.—Csziget-csep, Hungary, 8 June, 1902. From 
Mr. Dresser. 
Mr. Dresser informed me that these were taken by himself, and carefully 
identified, in the Pester Comitat, near the place named. Writing in ‘The 
Field ’’ newspaper (7 March, 1903, p. 398) he says of it:—“ About twenty 
to thirty pairs were breeding there, all White-winged Biack Terns (Sterna 
leucoptera), and so far as I could see not a single pair of Black Terns. Donning 
a pair of peasant’s shoes, I waded into the marsh. The nests were on the 
floating herbage in about three feet of water, and closely resembled those 
of the Black Tern. I took a dozen nests, selecting the best marked eggs.” ]
