in Great Britain during the Nesting-season. 81 
Mr. Rodd tells me that the Kittiwake breeds occasionally in 
Cornwall; the Rev. M. A. Mathews finds the nest in North 
Devonshire ; and Mr. Crotch tells me that the bird breeds also 
im Somerset. From this point I am unable to trace any locality 
until we reach the Isle of Man, where Mr. Crellin says that it 
breeds annually. 
On the east coast of England, the Kittiwake breeds at Flam- 
borough Head and at the Farn Islands, off the coast of Northum- 
berland. It is also abundant in many different parts of Scot- 
land, especially in the western and northern isles. 
Larus canus (Zinn.). Common Gull. 
Provinces I. III. VI. X.? XIV. XIII.? XIV. XVI.-XVIII. 
Subprovinces 1-3, 8, 17, 22 ?, 25, 26?, 27, 28, 32-38. 
Lat. 50°-61°. “Scottish” type, or Northern. 
Breeds in Cornwall (Mr. EH. H. Rodd), in North Devon (Rev. 
M. A. Mathews), and in Somerset (Mr. W. D. Crotch) ; in Pem- 
brokeshire (Mr. J. Tracy); and in Cumberland (Mr. 7. Gough). 
On the east coast of England, the Rev. J. C. Atkinson assures 
me that the Common Gull breeds in the Essex Marshes, where 
it is rare. It is believed to nest on the cliffs of Yorkshire; but 
it appears to be a scarce bird in most of the English localities, 
and seems to be wanting also in several of the Scottish districts, 
Larus Fuscus (Linn.). Lesser Black-backed Gull. 
Provinces I. II. VI. VII. XI.—-XIV. XVI.-X VIII. 
Subprovinces 1-8, 5, 6, 17, 18, 24-28, 32-38. 
Lat. 50°-61. “ British” type, or general. 
Like many other of our sea-fowl, the Lesser Black-backed 
Gull becomes much more numerous northwards, though it is too 
generally distributed to be placed under the Scottish type. 
Larus ARGENTATUS (Briinn.). Herring-Gull. 
Provinces I.-III. VI. VII. X.-X VIII. 
Subprovinces 1-7, 17, 18, 22, 24-88. 
Lat. 50°-61°. “British ” type, or general. 
This appears to be the most widely distributed of all our Gulls, 
being found on all the rocky parts of the coast during the breed- 
ing-season.
