The birds, after having once risen, kept flying around the grove, and their cries might have been heard at a considerable distance. On the dis- cliarge of a gun, or a loud shout, there was complete stillness for a few moments, and then the noise recommenced. The Sooty Tern is mentioned in Dr. Pickering's Journal as occurring at nearly all tlie points in the Pacific Ocean visited by the United States Exploring Expedition; and is shown to be one of the most extensively diffused of all the aquatic birds. l)('ing found both in temperate and tropical regions almost everywhere throughout tlie world. Professor Alfred Newton, toward the end of May, 1857, saw several individuals of this species about midway between St. Thomas and Santa Cruz; and Mr. Osbert Salvin, on the 29th of May, 1859, when passing along the south side of Tortole and St. John's, also saw numbers of them. They came close to the ship, and he could make them out quite well. This species is of occasional occurrence in Bermuda. Two instances are mentioned by Major Wedderburn, and one is also furnished by ]Ir. Hurdis. Its presence there seemed generally to be due to the occurrence of a severe gale, by which it had been driven upon the shore. This bird occurs at Jamaica, and its eggs constitute an article of considerable cnnimercial importance. The Pedro Keys are the resort of this species, as also of the Anovs stoUdus and of other sea-fowl. This Tern is the "Egg-bird" of Jamaica. (Jn the 9th of Jlay, 1832, Audubon visited a low island among the Tortugas on which large numbers of this species were bleeding. On landing it seemed to him for a iiinment, as he says, as if the birds would raise him from the ground, so thickly were they crowded around him, and so rapid were the motions of their wings; while tlieir cries were deafenin
