This bird was long regarded as the Sternahirundo of Linnseus; but the species described byhim under that name is evidently the Arctic Tern,as may be inferred from his description of the bill:—rostrum suhulatum, versus apicem compressum,rectum., coccineum, uti et pedes. It is a summer visitor to this country, generallyarriving in the second week of May, and breedingon sandy shores and shingle beds all round thecoast of England and Scotland, as far north as Skyeon the west, and the Fame Islands and the MorayFirth on the east. Beyond this it comes into com-petition with the Arctic Tern, with which speciesit is found in the Outer Hebrides, as well as inOrkney. As a summer visitor to Scotland it is to

In Ireland, the Common Tern, though numerousin summer, is rather local, breeding both on saltand fresh water, often in company with the ArcticTern, and sometimes in close proximity to nestsof the Black-headed Gull. Mr. Ussher has remarkedthat on marine islands the eggs of this bird arerarely laid before June, and are chiefly producedduring that month; but on inland lakes the Com-mon Tern breeds earlier, and the full complementof eggs may sometimes be found before the endof May. Where grass is abundant on their breeding-ground, these birds make their nests in it, but theseare seldom more than mere depressions. During itsmigrations in spring and autumn the Common Ternoften comes up the rivers from the coast, andwanders inland to fresh-water pools and

They often move their tail in the manner of the Wagtail.They do not migrate; but, during the winter, they approach nearer toinhabited places, and are sometimes seen in orchards and gardens.
