THE BIRDS OF CUMBERLAND. 169 



neighbourhood of the seaboard. We have recently 

 examined several freshly-killed Kittiwakes, obtained 

 on the eastern borders of the county, but it is of 

 very irregular occurrence far inland. 



Genus LARUS. 



L. Glaucus. Glaucous Gull. 



The Glaucous Gull is a rare casual visitant in 

 winter. An immature bird was shot near Raven- 

 glass, on November 23rd, 1877, (Zool., 1879, p. 119), 

 another was shot near Bowness in the winter 1883-4. 

 Mr. R. Mann refers to this species, a large white 

 Gull shot some years ago at Allonby, and mounted 

 by Mr. T. Mann. 



L. Leucopterus. Iceland Gull. 



The Iceland Gull is a casual visitant of rare 

 occurrence on the Cumbrian coast in mid-winter. 

 An immature bird was shot at Calder's mouth, 

 February 20th, 1880 (ZooL, 1880, p. 221) ; a 

 second, also immature, and not in company with 

 any other Gulls, was shot by Mr. R. Moore, on 

 the edge of Millom salt marsh, January 28th, 

 1882, and is now in our possession. 



Mr. T. C. Heysham recorded, as new to Cumber- 

 land, an immature Iceland Gull killed on the Solway 

 at Browhouses ; but Mr. Heysham evidently mis- 

 took the exact locality of Browhouses, which is on 

 the Scotch, not on the English, side. This early 

 specimen was killed on February 8th, 1835.
