Cormorants 37 



The adult Cormorant in his breeding plumage is a very hand- 

 some bird, with his rich metallic dress, white thigli-patch and white 

 crescent on the throat. This dress is not very common, and, I 

 believe, a number of the Cormorants that are breeding will be found 

 without these distinguishing marks.
