when passing to or returning from its summer 

 quarters in more inland counties. 



LITTLE GULL, Larus minutus. A specimen of 

 this scarce gull is in the possession of the Rev. 

 Mr. Dennis, of Seaford, which was killed in that 

 neighbourhood. 



BLACK-HEADED GULL, Larus ridibundus. Abun- 

 dant. 



LAUGHING GULL, Larus atricilla. A rare spe- 

 cies. Inserted here on the authority of Montagu. 

 Vide Yarrell. 



KITTIWAKE GULL, Larus tridactylus. Common. 



IVORY GULL, Larus eburneus. Has been occa- 

 sionally obtained in Sussex. Twice near Brigh- 

 ton. There is a specimen, which I have seen, 

 in the possession of Mr. Johnson, a chemist at St. 

 Leonard's, which was found on the beach in a 

 dying state; and during the winter of 1848 an 

 example occurred near Rye. 



COMMON GULL, Larus canus. Less generally 

 distributed in Sussex than in most maritime coun- 

 ties. Is occasionally met with in the interior. 



LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL, Larus fuscus. 

 Far from common, although occasionally seen on 

 different parts of the coast. A few breed at New- 

 haven, on the same cliff as the herring gulls. 



HERRING GULL, Larus argentatus. Abundant 

 at Newhaven during the summer.
