Among the Gulls on Isle Royale. 



IsleRoyale,of Lake Superior,is a long 

 narrow island surrounded by small 

 barren rocks rising seven or eight feet 

 out of the water. These rocks prove 

 an excellent home foe the Amei-icau 

 Herring Gull and immense numbers 

 come here every summer, t(j rear their 

 young. As the island is only inhabited 

 by fishermen, the birds are rarely mo- 

 lested; the men gathering only a few 

 eggs for their own use. Although the 

 birds are found all around the island, 

 in more or less numbers, they have two 

 or three places where they form large 

 colonies, such for instance is Gull Is- 

 land, at the north-eastern extremitj- of 

 of the main island and the Gull Rocks 

 ahmg the northern coast.
