Obs. — This species is recorded (Austin, Ann. Nat. Hist., IX, p. 435) 

 as a "summer visitant" to St. George's Channel, but Harting (Hand- 

 book Br. B., p. 170) considers that doubtless Sterna Jissipes, the Black 

 Tern, is the species intended.

 evidently quoting Temminck, that it has been captured on the coast of 

 France, but give no particulars. 



Italy. Obs. — Salvador! (in Fauna d' Italia, Uccelli, p. 286) states 

 that this species is mentioned by local authors as frequently occurring near
