492 Count E. Arrigoni Deorli Oddi on 
O' 
Mai di Ventre and Catalano ■^, off Oristano (Western Sar- 
dinia), also in the Toro and Vacca Is^lands, Leghorn, and some 
other places. Professor Giglioli f s^ays that no other Gull is 
found at Camicia Harbour, and Mr. Bonomi that it is very- 
abundant at Porto Torres, where, however, I saw only Yellow- 
legged Herring-Gulls and Black-headed Gulls. 
In Corsica, Audouin's Gull is apparently met with but 
rarely on the western coasts, but Whitehead j states that 
he found a wounded individual during a violent storm. In 
a series of excellent notes, Prof. Damiani § reports that 
six specimens were killed on Elba in the months of January, 
March, May, August, and December, two of them being 
now in the collection of Mr. Tonietti at Porteferraio, in 
that island, two in mine, one in the Ptoyal Museum at 
Florence, and one in the Civic Museum at Milan. I 
believe that the bird also occurs in the islands of Capreja, 
Pianosa, and Monte Cristo. 
In Sicily this Gull has appeared near Catania and Palermo, 
and some fine specimens are preserved in the Museum of the 
latter town, whence also one was sent to the British Museum || 
(February 1886). Mr. Wright reports having seen an 
example in Malta ; while the Ligurian specimen above men- 
tioned was killed by Marquis Pinelli-Gentile on May 10th, 
1883, at the mouth of the Cente, near Albenga, and is now 
in his collection. Messrs. Giglioli and Salvadori do not 
recognise any other Ligurian examples, but Baron Schalow^ 
attributes two which are in the Museums of Genoa to that 
country *^. 
The bird has never been obtained in the Adriatic, although 
Count Contarini has recorded it from Yenetia in error, while 
* I procured two fine specimeus there myself,
