ON THE &OULTING OF THE HERRING GULL 105 



the feathers of the underparts, including the under tail-coverts^ 

 there were scattered new ones. 



Of the twelve tail-feathers, only one, fifth from one side, had 

 been moulted, and was replaced by a new almost fully-developed 

 white feather (the rest had the black terminal band of the immature 

 plumage).

 complete. It has been compiled from the Zoological Record, with 

 the addition of several other references.
