17 (40) Kittiwake 
Rissa tridactyla (Linn.) 
18 (42) Glaucous gull 
Larus glaucus Brinn. 
19 (43) Iceland gull! 
Larus leucopterus Faber 
20 (45) Kumlien’s gull? 
Larus kumlieni Brewst. 
1The status of this form in our state is not well understood, and as Dr William 
Brewster writes me “it, with many of the young birds recorded from New England 
under the same name, may in the end prove to be young kumlent.”” 
2There is one specimen of this bird in the Park collection of the museum. It was 
taken in the Mohawk river, near Green Island, 27 Jan, 1884, and was identified by 
Dr Brewster.
