Glaucous Gull described from Behring’s Sea 
and adjacent waters from Point Barrow to 
Japan, by Mr. Ridgway, Auk, July, 1886, p. 
330. It was admitted neither to the Union 
List of 1886, nor to the Kry of 1887; and I 
am at a loss to see upon what grounds it is | 
rated as a good species in the Supplementary 
List of 1889, as L. glaucus is well known to 
vary beyond the limits of size said to be 
distinctive of L. barrovianus.

Bidr. Sibirisk. Vega Exp., 1887, p. 3870, 
one of several conspecies of the Herring 
Gull. 
No. 788 bis, p. 751. Add: Chroicoce- 
phalus minutus. Least Gut. This 
almost cosmopolitan Gull and the smallest 
of its tribe, originally described as Asiatic 
in 1771 by Peter S. Pallas, and well known 
to be also European and African, was as- 
cribed to North America in 1831 by Swain- 
son and Richardson (F. B.-A., II., p. 426), 
on the strength of a specimen said to have 
been procured on Sir John Franklin’s first 
expedition and identified by Sabine. In 
1862, I included it in my monograph of the 
Larine (Proc. Phila. Acad., p. 311), but 
with doubt, and its alleged occurrence has 
never been accredited. It has therefore 
been omitted from all our late works. But 
quite recently it has been found on Long 
Island: see Dutcher, Auk, April, 1888, p. 
171. The size is very small; length about 
11 inches; wing 9 or less; bill 0.90, very 
slender; tarsus 1.00, and rather shorter 
than the middle toe and claw. The mantle 
is pale pearly-blue; the primaries are sim- 
ilar, white-tipped, and not crossed with 
black; and the adult in summer has a 
black hood.

This species, which I took in the Key, orig. 
ed. 1872, removed from the Kry in 2d ed. 
1884, and replaced on new evidence in the 
3d ed. 1887, is placed by the Committee in 
the hypothetical List. See Coues, Auk, Oct. 
1885, p. 387; Ridgway, Man. N. A. Birds, 
1887, p. 51. 
No. 823 bis, p. 781. Add: Cymochorea 
macrodactyla. GUADALUPE PETREL. An 
interesting petrel, apparently new and a 
valid species, described as Oceanodroma 
leucorrhoa macrodactyla by Bryant, Bull. 
Cala. Acad. Sci., II., No. 8, 1887. It 
appears to belong to our genus, as above, 
but we have not seen any specimens. 
The locality is Guadalupe Island, Lower 
California.
