 technically named, but in a succeeding article it is called L. islandicus.

 <; Mem. Wernerian Nat. Hist. Soc.,iY, pt. i, 1822j iip. 182-185.

The Larus islandicus of Edmonston of 1822 proving to be L. glaucus, the name islandicus 

 is very improperly "transferred" to another species (the L. leucopterus of Faber).

After a cii'cumstantial account of the genus considered individually, the species are taken 

 upin order. L.roseus.p. 249; L.hathyrvnchus[sic—leyebathyrhynchus],Tji.2oZ; L. argenteus, 

 p. 264 (renamed from arijentatus) ; L. arcticus, p. 268 (t= argentatus Sabine); L. glacialis, i). 

 270 {—glaucus Temm.), sjjp. nn. These and some other species are very elaborately treated, 

 monographically, excepting the first, which is only named "provisionally " (the name roseus, 

 by the way, afterward excited some acrimonious personality, as anticipating rossii of Rich- 

 ardson) . The paper looks as if it were but a part of the article, but it is not marked to be con- 

 tinued, and no more has been found. It is one of the soundest papers ever written on Gulls.
