In this the upper parts of the body are dusky black; crown mottled 

 with white; hind part of the neck inclining to ash-colour; greater 

 wing coverts irregularly marked black and white ; quills and tail 

 black; the under parts of the bird white, with obscure dusky black 

 lines, except the chin, which is pure white ; legs pale brown ; webs 

 dusky. — Supposed to have come from Kamtschatka. — Sir J. Banks.

In this the plumage is black and white in patches above; all 

 beneath white. In Brunnich's bird the belly was also spotted white 

 and black. This author supposes it to be a bird of the first year.

In this the belly is variegated white and black. M. Gunner 

 thinks it to be a young bird of the first year; and Fabricius assures 

 lis, that the unfledged ones are wholly covered with a black down, 

 and even the naked parts are black, except the tip of the bill, which 

 alone is white. This is manifest from specimens in Mr. Bullock's 

 Museum, where we may observe the young bird to be wholly black, 

 after that much mixed with white, and in some approaching nearly 

 to white; and finally black, with the white patch on the wing as 

 first described.
