THE GLAUCOUS GULL IN MIDDLESEX COUNTY, 



During- the last week in January, 1901, a larg^e white gull 

 was seen on the Thames river, six or eig^ht miles west of London. 

 After staying- there for a few days it found a carcass on the farm 

 of Mr. Elson, a few miles from Byron on which it fed for two or 

 three days, when it was shot by Mr. Will Elson, on February ist, 

 who kindly let me have it, and it is now in my collection. It 

 proved to be a female g-laucous g-ull in the plumage of the second 

 year, white, uniformly speckled with light gray all over. Consid- 

 ering that there is no definite record of the herring gull in Middle- 

 sex, it is rather surprising that this should be the first of the larger 

 species of gulls to be obtained in the country.
