 Sterna oceani Brehm, Handb. Naturg. Vog. Deutschl. p. 1019 (1831 — " Sie bewohnt die laseln des 

 Weltmeeres, nanentlich die Kiisten Hollands "). 



It is impossible to say if Brehm had any clear idea about the " islands in 

 the ocean " ; very likely this was a theory of his, and he actually described 

 Sterna oceani from specimens from Holland, and probably a male shot in 

 Holland, 11. vi. 1827, is actually his type.

? 344. Laroides melanotus Brehm = Larus fuscus affinis ? partim. 

 Laroides melanotus Brehm, Isis, 1830. p. 993 (nomen nudum .') ; Handb. Naturg. Vog. Deutschl. p. 747 

 (1831 — " Sie lebt den Sommer iiber an den Kiisten der Faioer und anderer nordwestlichen 

 Insein, kommt im Winter, besonders jung, ?uweilen an die deutschon Kiisten der Nordsee "). 



Brehm must have had one or more Faeroe specintiens ; but he described the 



upperside as slate-black, while in the bird from Faeroe in his collection, and 



surely in all Faeroe birds, the upperside is slaty grey, not black, as in L. fuscus 



•fuscus. Probably Brehm's description is faulty, and the bird is his collection : 



<J ad., Faeroe Islands, 7. vii. 1828 is the real type.
