238 Mr. C. A. Wright's Fifth Appendix to a 
Tringa temminckii (Ibis, 1864, p. 148; 1869, p. 492). 
This bird is doubtless a regular migrant; and scarcely a spring 
passes without my observing it. It also occurs in autumn. 
The last time I shot one was on the 5th May, this year, at 
Salini, out of a small flock, which had become extremely wild 
on account of being frequently fired at and molested. 
Strepsilas interpres (Ibis, 1864, p. 148; 1865, p. 466). 
One of these birds, which cannot be considered more than an 
occasional visitor, was shot in Gozo on the 15th May, this 
year, and kindly sent to me by Mr. Arrowsmith. It had 
almost attained the full summer plumage, and was of the fe¬ 
male sex. 
Phcenicopterus roseus ? (Ibis, 1864, p. 148; 1870, p. 492). 
A Flamingo w r as seen and shot at on the 22nd August, 1870, 
at the Salini; and footmarks, probably of the same bird, were 
afterwards observed in the mud in the outer ditch of the 
Marsa. A Flamingo was seen flying over the suburb of Flo- 
riana one day in April this year, 1874. 
Larus tridactylus (Ibis, 1864, p. 151). My friend Mr. 
Medlycott shot one of these birds in the Marsamuscetto Har¬ 
bour on the 22nd Feb., 1873; and I examined the specimen 
before he sent it to be skinned. It is one of our rarest Gulls, 
but, I dare say, gets often overlooked in a flock of the Adriatic 
Gull, one of which he killed with the other barrel. 
Larus canus (Ibis, 1864, p. 151). I have a specimen of 
this Gull, which was taken on the 18tli Dec., 1865. 
Sterna hybrida (Ibis, 1864, p. 153). I shot a beautiful 
specimen of this Tern at the Salini on the 22nd May, of the 
present year. It was a male, and assuming the breeding-state. 
The breast and belly were prettily mottled with white, the 
lead-colour becoming nearly black towards the vent. Legs 
orange-red; beak brownish red. 
Sterna fissipes (Ibis, 1864, p. 153). In July 1870 a large 
number of Black Terns visited our harbours, and remained 
here till about the end of September. I first noticed them
