THE COMMON GULL, as its name would imply, is pretty 

 generally diffused around the coast, though more plentiful 

 in some situations than in others, and varies a little in 

 its habits, depending on the locality in which it is found. 



* Larus hyberneus, of Gmelin, and La Mouette d'hiver, of Buffon.
