this species. Individuals are of occasional occurence inland, 

 on the larger lakes ; thus at Winnepesaukee, Mr. C. F. Goodhue 

 saw a pair on June 10, 1878, at Forty Islands, and at Ossipee 

 Lake, Frank Bolles (' 93b, p. 129) records one shot Aug. 30, 

 1890. 



1.8. Sterna dougalli Montag. ROSEATE TERN. 



Formerly a summer resident at the Isles of Shoals (Baird, 

 Brewer and Ridgway, '84, vol. 2, p. 305). 



19. Sterna fuligiiiosa Gmel. SOOTY TERN. 



An accidental visitant from the sou-th. There is but one val- 

 id record, that of Dearborn ('98, p. 5) really referring to the 

 Black Tern, viz.: at Newmarket, where " a fine adult male, 

 taken .... about September 14, 1878, by Mr. D. C. Wig- 

 gin," is recorded by Mr. Ruth veil Deane ('ySb, p. 195). 



20. Hydrochelkloii uigra surinamensis (Gmel.). 

 TERN. 



An occasional summer and fall migrant to the coast ; casual 

 inland. The following are the only actual records for the state 

 which have come to my notice : Chocorua, one remained half a 

 day on a small lake, September 30, 1889, according to Frank 

 Bolles ('93b, p. 129). This was probably the bird mentioned 

 in the same work (p. 36) as seen on " one bright October morn- 

 ing '*; Lake Winnepesaukee, one was seen June 10, 1878, by Mr. 

 C. F. Goodhue. Mr. Goodhue writes me that through a lapsus 

 on his part, this bird was given as Sterna fuliginosa in 

 Dearborn's list ('98, p. 5). Newfound Lake, an immature bird 

 was shot by Mr. H. T. Winchester, on September 9, 1902, and 

 is now in the collection of Camp Pasquaney. as I am informed 

 by Mr. R. H. Howe, Junior. Rye Beach, Mr. William Brews- 

 ter records ('8ib) that a flock of about forty of these birds was 

 seen August 24, 1880, by Mr. H. M. Spelman. The birds 

 stayed several days about a small pond of brackish water, and 

 four were collected. Mr. Brewster also examined a specimen 

 shot here on Sept. i, 1868.
