Of maritime Terns which must needs occur on the coast may be men- 

 tioned Onychoprion melanauchen (Tem.), P.O. 427, which breeds plentifully in 

 the Nlcobars; O.panaya, Anous stotidus, and A. tenuirostris.\ 



On the coast must also necessarily occur Phaeton isthereus, Sula fiber, and 

 probably Fregata.
