THE Iceland Gull builds on the face of a precipice or cliff, but at 

 a rather low height. It shares the place with other species. 



The eggs are of an olive green colour, spotted with two shades of 

 brown. 



The Rev. H. B. Tristram has favoured me also with the egg of this 

 bird to be made use of for the plate. It was procured from the White 

 Sea in 1852.
