THE LIFE OF 



The Common Gull 



TOLD IN PHOTOGRAPHS. 

 By C. RUBOW. 



This interesting brochure will be studied with profit by people of all ages 

 interested in Bird-life. Its beautiful illustrations show the life-history of this 

 Avell-known bird, beginning with a mated pair of birds shown standing on a 

 sea-girt rock ; followed by views of a breeding-colony on their nests ; by single 

 nests with eggs, amid natural surroundings ; sitting birds on nests ; nests with 

 eggs hatching ; newly hatched young birds with their parents in attendance ; 

 young birds at a later state of development ; a flock of adult birds in the air 

 over a field, searching for insect larvae as exposed by a farmer in ploughing ; 

 the series closing with views of small parties of Gulls perched on rocks along 

 a seashore or flying in the air. Other illustrations are given, the whole 

 forming an exceedingly artistic booklet. The text tells briefly the story so 

 fully and beautifully illustrated in the plates.
