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.
