 "Transient Visitant," common. A few may 

 breed here, as I saw a pair of large gulls on Lake 

 of Two Mountains, near Oka, July 11, 1890, which 

 I considered to be of this species ; I also saw one 

 there on July 17, 1891, and observed three or four 

 white and dark-colored gulls on Lake St. Louis, 

 August 21, 1891. I noticed this gull was plentiful 

 at Lake St. Peter from October 21 to November 1, 

 and I saw about a dozen gulls in white and dark- 

 coloured plumage, which I believe were this species, 

 flying around and alighting on the river in front of 

 the city, December 11, 1891. Spring arrival, April 

 13 to 27. I saw several between the 24th and 30th 

 of April, 1893, at Lake of two Mountains, and I 

 am told that they remain about the lake through- 

 out the summer months, and likely breed there.
