AUSTRALIAN WHITE-FRONTED TERN. 
As synonyms should be noted, Sterim frontalis Gray and 8. albifrons Peale. 
Sterna striata hethunei Buller ; Auckland Islands ; Chatham Islands. 
Sterna striata melanorhyncha Gould ; East Australia. 
As synonyms should be recorded Sterna velox Gould (not Ruppell), and 
S. striata incerta Mathews. 
I diagnosed the latter thus : “ Differs from 8 . s. striata in its slightly smaller 
size and darker wings ” ; and if the genus Sternula be not recognised this name 
must be utilised.
