We have received the foUowiug letters addressed to " The 
Editors '' :— 
Sirs, — In my article on Audouin's Gull {Larus audouini) 
(above, p. 493) there is an error as regards the localities of 
the specimens of that bird in the JMuseum of Florence, 
which are stated to be '^ all from the island of Mai di 
Ventre. '^ It is the eggs only which were taken on that 
island. The specimens are all from the open sea or islands 
of the Mediterranean, except one, which was procured at 
Piombino, near Leghorn, being the second example recorded 
from the mainland of Italy.
