Class II. SKUA GULL. 



carrion. Its egg is very blunt at each end ; of a 

 dufky olive color, quite black at the greater end ; 

 and the reft of it thinly marked with dufky fpots. 



I have feen on the coaft of Anglefea 9 a bird that 

 agrees in all refpects with this except in fize, in 

 wanting the black fpot on the bill, and in the 

 color of the legs, which in this are of a bright yel- 

 low : the extent of wings is only four feet five : 

 the length only twenty-two inches : the weight one 

 pound and a half. This fpecies, or perhaps va- 

 riety (for I dare not afTert which) rambles far 

 from the fea,„ and has been fhot at Bulfirode y m
