ZOOLOGY. 53 



On the 30th of April, 1847, I shot several specimens at 

 Spanish Point. They appear about the end of April, and 

 are very common at Spanish Point, and in Castle Harbour, 

 where they breed. I got their eggs at Gurnet-head Eock, 

 on the 17th of June, 1848. I have also seen a few roseate 

 terns at the North Eock. 



Common Teen {S. hirundo). I have seen a few of these 

 terns at Gurnet-head Eock, but only succeeded in shooting 

 a couple of them near the entrance to St. George's harbour, 

 ' on the 17th of June, 1848 ; the only specimens hitherto 

 obtained. They breed along with S. DougaUii, in Castle 

 Harbour. 



Sooty Teen {S.fuUginosa). Dr. Cole shot a specimen of 

 this tern in October, 1846. During the whole time I was 

 quartered in Bermuda, I only saw one of these birds, and 

 that in the year 1848 : I was walking on the Sand HiQs, 

 and saw a bird apparently dead on the ground ; I put down 

 my gun and picked the bird up, and was just putting him 

 carefally in paper, when my prize thought fit to come to life 

 and flew away, taking me so much by surprise that I never 

 thought of using my gun. It was a most beautiful speci- 

 men, and must have been driven on shore by some heavy 

 gale. 



IN'ODDY Teen {8. stolida). One example only is recorded ; 

 killed by Capt. Tolcher (56th Eegt.), near Ireland Island, on 

 the 12th of September, 1854. 



Sabine's Gull (Larus Sabini). A single specimen was 

 shot by Colonel Drummond, near St. George's, but the date 

 I do not recollect. 



KiTTiwAKB Gull (X. tridactylus). I found the first 

 specimen of this gull near Spanish Point, on the 5th of
