This Tern is found throughout the tropical seas of the 

 Atlantic, Indian, and western Pacific from the Bahamas, 

 where it breeds, to Japan and the Fiji Islands. It has 

 been divided into various subspecies in recent years.

Two examples are said to have been obtained off the south- 

 east coast of Ireland about 1830 and one from the Dee marshes, 

 Cheshire, about 1891, but in neither case is the evidence 

 satisfactory. 



The typical form of the Noddy is found about the tropical 

 and subtropical coasts and islands of the Atlantic, especially 

 in the West Indies ; it is said to winter in more southern 

 latitudes, and is represented by allied forms in the Indian 

 and Pacific Oceans.
