BRITISH BIRDS. 



[vol. XIII. 



of September, and definite records of the Arctic Tern on 

 August 22nd;23rd, 1909, 28th 29th, and September 2nd 3rd, 



1913- 



In September 1913 two Common Terns were seen in the 

 east bay on the 7th and 8th, one of them remaining till the 

 9th. An adult and two young ones arrived there on the loth 

 and remained feeding about the bay all that day and the next. 

 They were absent on the 12th, but returned for one day on 

 the 13th. ■ 



HERRING-GULL. 



One would perhaps have expected Terns of some species 

 to breed on the island ; they might well do so at the southern 

 end or the north-west corner, but none were seen either by 

 Mr. Aplin, Mr. Coward or myself. 



The Black-headed Gull {Lams ridihundus) . 



An occasional visitor, perhaps regular in spring and autumn. 

 Recorded by Mr. Coward, but not seen by Mr. Aplin. 



In June 1913 three adults following the plough on the 

 19th were the only ones seen. In September two were seen 

 on the 7th, three on the 15th, and one on the 19th.
