TERNS. CAYLEY. P229, 270-3. 63 Terns TERNYS, SEA SWALLOW S.ECT. I can only guess as to the terns of the Loyalty region, but the possibilities include Sterna*ALX.P.194. sumatrana, S. anaetheta, S. fuscata, the larger crested tern Thalasseus bergii, some form of the tiny blue ternlet Procelsterna carulea, one or more noddies (Anous) and a white tern (Gygis). Several of the species named require bare ground for nesting and avoid densely wooded islands. Forests would, however, be no bar to certain noddies, to the ternlet, and the fairy tern. The following terns also might occur in the Loyalty Islands: Sterna dougallii bangsi Sterna nereis exsul as well as the gull Larus novaehollandiae. 63. STERNA: SUMATRANA SEE CAYLEY.P272.NO.23.
