516 Rev. F. C. R. Jourdain on the Catalogue of 



in Norway is L. ar(/etitatus, and that L. glaucus does 

 not breed there at all. Anotlier red egg (not yet cata- 

 logued) is marked " L, argentatus,^' to whieh a (?) has 

 been added, but it is included among the eggs of 

 L. glaucus. The statement on p. 220 that the ery- 

 thristic type is "quite unique among Gulls' eggs'' is 

 also incorrect^ as similar eggs have been recorded, from 

 L. ridibundus, both in Scotland and Germany, and also 

 from L. marimis. Other eggs in the collection from 

 Vardo are really those of L. rnarmus. 



P. 225. Megalestris catarrhades (L.). Three eggs from the 

 Seebohm collection are stated to have been taken by 

 W. Dunn on the Orkney Islands. There is, however, 

 no reason to believe that this species has ever bred 

 there. 



P. 227. Stercorarhis crepidatus (Banks). An egg from 

 Lundegode, Finmark, is said to have been taken on 

 Oct. 7 ! It is^ however, marked 7.10.57, which 

 surely meaiis July 10, 1857. 



Vol. IP. (1902). 



P. 20. Ochthodromus geoffroyi (Wag!.). The eggs figured 

 and described as of this species are those of Rostratula 

 cape.nsis (see the 'Ibis,' 1905, p. 61). This also applies 

 to the eggs mentioned on p. 347. 



[P. 77. Glareola i^rai'incola (L.). It is questionable whether 

 the eggs obtained by INIr. S. Doig at the Eastern Narra, 

 Sind, belong to this form. More probably they should 

 be catalogued under G. orientalist^ 



P. 111. Pyrrlierodias purpurea (L.). The eggs obtained by 

 Mr. W. D. Gumming were not taken at Fao as stated, 

 but at Koweit, on the Persian Gulf, and are so marked 

 by the collector *. 



* Mr. C. B. Rickett has &\m pointed out ('Ibis,' 190."), p. 6-5) tliat the 

 two oviduct eggs, catalogued as Dcmicyretta sacra, should be entered 

 under the heading of Jlerodias eulop/iofcs Swinh.
