THE YOUNG GLAUCOUS GULL. 



Is mottled much in the same way as the Wagel, 

 but the colours are somewhat different, the ground 

 colour of the Avhole plumage being of a dull white, 

 and the spots of a pale dingy brown ; bill dark 

 horn colour : legs and toes pale flesh : irides sil- 

 very grey. By the fishermen of Zetland, it is 

 called the Iceland Scorie, that being the name 

 given there indiscriminately to the young of the 

 three larger species of the Gull tribe.
