 tively adorned with about half of a West-African Glossy 

 Starling and the wing of a Kingfisher. Let us hope 

 that this fair one may have been brought to a sense of 

 decency, as have many others of her sex, through the 

 praiseworthy exertions of the Ladies' Society for the 

 Protection of Birds. 



I have met with this Tern at various seasons on all 

 parts of the Mediterranean shores, and found it breeding 

 on the great lagoons of Sardinia.
