Armenian Gulls 
While I have no great desire to defend most current British usage for the 
nomenclature of the Herring and Lesser Black-backed group of gulls 
whose extreme forms of variation are represented by Larus argentatus 
and L fuscus, some additional considerations need to be bom in mind 
before there is any general move to adopt the 'splitting' classification 
advocated by some recent Continental authors such as Werner Suter 
iOSME Bulletin 25:12-15).
