[184] A mistake, which Audubon later corrected. The Herring Gull is of course quite distinct from the Black-backed. The former is of the variety called by me Larus argentatus smithsonianus, as it differs in some respects from the common Herring Gull of Europe.—E. C.
[185] Perhaps Forster's Tern, Sterna forsteri.—E. C.
[186] Charles Lucien Bonaparte.
[187] No doubt the common species, Phalacrocorax carbo, as Audubon afterward identified it. See beyond, date of June 30.—E. C.
[188] That is, the species which Audubon named the Florida Cormorant, Phalacrocorax floridanus, now known to be a small southern form of the Double-crested Cormorant, P. dilophus.—E. C.
[189] This is the so-called Bridled Guillemot, Uria ringvia. The white mark is not characteristic of sex, age, or season. The bird is not specifically distinct from Uria troile.—E. C.
[190] Merula migratoria, the American Robin.
[191] Kinglet, Regulus calendula.—E. C.
[192] An interesting note of this new species figured in B. of Am., folio pl. 193, and described in Orn. Biogr. ii., 1834, p. 539. It is now known as Melospiza lincolni.—E. C.
[193] The Common Puffin, now called Fratercula arctica.—E. C.
