STERNA MACRURA. 305 
§ 4446. Hight-—lslet off Kirkebée, Ferde, 2 July, 1849. 
Of the Arctic Tern we saw several breeding-places [in Ferée], but 
we found no other species. The first was near Thorshavn. We went 
there on the 26th of June. There was almost too much sea for 
landing, and Mr. Edge got his nail trapped off between the boat and 
the rocks. There was only one egg in each nest, or rather spot, for 
of nest there was little or none. The Amtmand or Governor (pro 
tempore), Herr Lundahl, afterwards sent us some of the eggs for 
eating, from which those I kept were selected. 
On the 2nd of July, in the little Hider-Duck island off Kirkebée is 
a colony of Terns. Those which I shot are Arctic. 
§ 4447. Two.—Feroe, 1852. From Sysselmand Miiller. 
Arctic Tern, no other species in Feroe. 
§ 4448. Hight—Ferode, 1853. From Sysselmand Winther. 
§ 4449. Seven.—Feroe, before 1857. 
§ 4450. Two.—Jerisjarvi, 1853. 
Bought from a boy at Muonioniska. At Jerisjiirvi I saw many, 
and shot three or four of the birds, and no other species of Tern. 
§ 4451. Zwo.—Nyimakka, 16 June, 1854. “J. W.” 
Two eggs, a litile sat upon, in a small island inthe pond. Theold 
birds swooped fiercely at me in my cloak-boat. 
§ 4452. Zwo—Nalima, 1854. 
Brought by the painter’s wife. Of the species I have no doubt, as 
there is no other here. 
§ 4453. One.—Jerisjarvi, 1854. 
Brought by Daniel as a Tirvi’s egg from Rauhala. No other Tern 
breeds at Jerisjarvi or elsewhere up here.
