251. Lams canus L. 



Larus canus D. & O. p. 517. 



I have seen one Common Gall hanging in tlie market, 

 and noticed medium-sized Galls about the harbour and coast 

 which were doubtless of this species. 



This Gull was common at Newchwang in 1889. 



25.2. Larus argeiitatus vegae Stejn. 



Larus occidentalis D. & O. p. 520. 



Larus vega vel cachinnans La T. p. 519. 



Large Herring-Gulls pass at much the same seasons as 

 the Laughing Gull, and are to be seen often during the 

 winter about the harbour or passing over the plain. Those 

 seen at fairly close quarters appeared to be the Pink-legged 

 Herring-Gull. A few specimens are to be seen hanging in 

 the game-shops in winter. 



Larus crussirostris was common at Newchwang in 1889, 

 but T have no certain note of its occurrence at Chinwang-tao. 

 If it does occur, it is very rare. 



253. Larus cachinnans Pall. 

 Larus cachinnaas D. & O. p. 520. 



On the 29th of November, 1914, I saw an immature 

 example of the Mediterranean Herring-Gull hanging in a 

 game-shop in the village, 



254. Larus glaucus Briinn. 



On the 5th of February, 1917, I observed among a 

 number of Gulls in the harbour two Glaucous Gulls, I had 

 not noticed this species at Chinwangtao before, but it is quite 

 possible that I had overlooked it. The winter 191G-1917 was 

 exceedingly cold and the port was ice-bound for some time, 

 so that the presence of these Gulls here was probably due to 

 the severe weather-conditions prevailing at the time. 



255. Hydrochelidon hybrida (Pall.). 

 Hydruchelidon hybrida D. & O. p. 524. 



The llev. Geo. D. Wilder shot a specimen of the Whiskered 

 Tern between Peitaibo and Chinwangtao on the 31st of July,
