early spring and autumn, on its passage to and from its breeding 

 places in more northern localities. 



Gull-billed Tern, Sterna anglica. We have seen a specimen of 

 this bird, which was said to have been killed in West Norfolk. 



Lesser Tern, Sterna minuta. Common in spring, summer, and 

 autumn, and breeds in localities similar to those frequented by the 

 common tern. 



Black Tern, Sterna Jlssipes. The black tern is common in spring, 

 on its passage to its breeding grounds in a more northern district, and 

 also occasionally occurs on its return in autumn. We believe that it 

 formerly bred in some numbers at Winterton, but that it has now 

 ceased to do so. 



Little Gull, Larus minutus. A few specimens are generally 

 obtained every year in their vernal and autumnal migrations. A little 

 gull was killed in the month of November, 1843, on a small piece of 

 water within the city of Norwich, to which locality it had been appa- 

 rently attracted by the sight of some tame ducks. 



Black-headed Gull, Larus ridibundus. Very common in Norfolk, 

 and breeds in great quantities at Scoulton, and also on some of the 

 Broads, dispersing during the winter about the coast. This spe- 

 cies is observed to follow the plough in large numbers like the 

 rook. 



Young of the Kittiwake. 



Kittiwake Gull, Larus tridactylus. Common on the coast (except 

 during the breeding season) and especially so in autumn.
