General notes. 
The Black Tern at Prince Edward Island.—As far as I can learn, the 
Black Tern (Hydrochelidon nigra surinamensis') has never been reported 
from the Atlantic coast north of Grand Manan Island, where three speci¬ 
mens were taken “m the latter part of August, 1879,” as recorded by Mr. 
Ruthven Deane (Bull. Nutt. Orn. Club, Vol. V, p. 63). I have in my 
collection a young male of this species which I shot September 13, 1887, 
at Tignish, Prince Edward Island.— Frank II. Hitchcock, Washington

Hydrochelidon nigra surinamensis. Black Tern. — A young male 
in juvenal plumage taken September 9, 1902. This species has been so 
often recorded along the New England coast that its occurrence at Sable 
Island is not unexpected.
