The Whit'e-winged Black Tern {Hydrochelidon leucoptera) 

 is practically unknown in Australia, and only one or two 

 somewhat doubtful instances of its occurrence have been 

 recorded. Recently there has been a remarkable visitation 

 of this bird to Western Australia, and many thousands 

 have been observed at various localities along the coast. 

 Mr. W. B. Alexander, who first noticed the Tern at Easter 

 time in 1917, and Avho has collected and published an 

 account of what others as well as himself have observed, 

 states that nearly all the birds were in immature or inter- 

 mediate plumage, and though a few were seen in the 

 breeding-dress no specimen was secured. 



A pathetic interest attaches to a short note by Col. W. 

 V. Legge, probably his last contribution to ornithology, 

 recording the first occurrence of Gypuictinia melanosterna, 

 the Black-breasted Buzzard, in Tasmania.
