GENERAL NOTES. 



Larus argentatus smithsonianus. — In a letter dated Sept. 28, 1892, 

 from Captain Edward Fogarty of the Brenton Reef Lightship he writes: 

 "Our old friend 'Gull Dick' [Auk, IX, 237] has again appeared for the 

 twenty-first season, being a little earlier than last year. The bird looked 

 as if it had suffered somewhat from the effects of the recent northwest gale, 

 for it is minus two feathers from one wing and one from the other, other- 

 wise, the same old Dick. The bird arrived at five o'clock on the afternoon 

 of September 28, 1892. On receiving its supper it appeared quite hungry, 

 devouring five pieces of pork each the size of a hen's egg. There have 

 been a few other Gulls around the past three or four days, but they are all 

 gray ones." 



On the morning of August 28, 1892, at Nantucket, Mass., I saw two 

 white and two gray Herring Gulls, four in all. They probably came on 

 the heavy northeaster (wind blowing at the rate of 37 miles an hour) on 

 the afternoon and night of the 26th. — George H. Mackay, Nantucket, 

 Mass.
