CABOT'S TERN. sandwich tekn. Sterna sanuvicensis acuflavida. Char. Upper parts paie pearl gray, much paler on rump and tail; tail dctijly forked ; crown and nape black; under parts while tinged with pink ; bill black tipped with pale buff; legs and feet black. Lcrigth 14 to 16 inches. A'i'st. A slight hollow scratched in the sand of a sea-beach uv on a grassy island ; sometimes lined with grass or dry sea-weed. J^K'g^. 2-4 (usually 3); ground color varies from white through cream color to brownish buff, sometimes titiged with olive; the markings are varied, but always profuse, and of several shades of brown and pale gray ; siiCe variable, average about 2.00 X 1.40. Ftw species have a wider geographic range than the Sand- wich Tern. It was first observed in Kngland by Mr. Boys, of Sandwich, where it is not uncommon, and was afterwards pub- lished by Latham. It is readily confounded with the Common Tern {Skrna hinuu/o), but is superior in size, besides possessing other differences ; it is rather rare on other parts of the Eng- lish coast. It is believed to breed on the shores of Sandwich, and retires south in autumn, where it is probably afterwards seen migrating to the coast of Africa to pass the winter, and the young birds have been brought from the distant shores of New Zealand. According to Temminck it is very abundant in the isles of North Holland, and chiefly frequents the sea-coast, though sometimes it has been known to wander into the inte- rior and visit fresh waters. In the Leverian Museum there existed, some years ago, a specimen of the young bird from South America; but it was left for our indefatigable friend Audubon to discover this interesting cosmopolite within the boundary of the United States. In 1832 he with his party obtained a considerable number of s
