334 LARUS MARINUS. 
§ 4629. Three. — Kyrkjuvogr, Iceland, 24 May, 1858. 
ce Wew 
I took these eggs from a nest on an island in the fjord, the two 
birds flying over me, and no other Gulls about the island. 
Mr. Newton sat in the boat, and confirms my views as to the 
species. We had been to dig for Great Auks’ bones at Old 
Kyrkjuvogr. 
[I must here confess that I am sure both of us were mistaken as to the species, 
which at the time we agreed in thinking to be Z. fuscus, neither of us then 
knowing that it did not occur in Iceland, while we had no means of 
judging the size of the parent birds we saw. These eggs are fully as 
large as those of LZ. marinus usually are, and I have no doubt belong to that 
species. |
