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.
