SANDWICH TERN. 77 breeding-season the immense numbers of these Ternsthat resort together, cover the ground beyond imaginationin some of their favourite localities, among which we mustparticularly enumerate the Islands of Norderoog, Sude-roog, Pel worm, and Amrom, off the west coast of Schleswig,and the coast and sand-banks of Holland and Friesland,where the ground is so entirely covered with them, thattheir appearance can be compared to nothing else thansnow; and when the birds happen to take wing simul-taneously, they form, without exaggeration, a perfect whitecloud. We presume to make an observation on the subject of theSandwich Tern, to account for its not having been noticedby British Ornithologists before the time of Dr. Boys, andwe have the opinion of Dr. Latham also, to the same effect;namely, that this Tern has the peculiar habit of taking upits summer residence in a certain spot, and after a time tochange it so entirely for another, that it is not again to bemet with for many
