George Island, Pribilofs, June 25, 1873 (specimens in U. S. National 
Museum) . It also breeds so late that young were still in the nest on 
St. George Island, August 31, 1913 (Hanna). In fall the species 
was noted at Unirnak Pass (Seale), and one bird was seen October 5, 
1899, on the north side of Unalaska at Dutch Harbor (Bishop). The 
last was noted on St. George Island November 11, 1913 (Hanna). 
There is apparently no winter record for the species. Turner says 
that it breeds on the Near Islands but does not winter there, while 
Stejneger records its return to the Commander Islands about the 
first of April. 
A straggler was taken at Forty-Mile, Yukon, October 12, 1899 
(Griimell). 
GLAUCOUS GULL. Larus Tiyperboreus Guntjekus. 
Range. — Arctic regions, south to California, the Great Lakes, Long 
Island (New York), the Mediterranean, Black and Caspian Seas, and 
Japan. 
Breeding range. — The glaucous gull, or burgomaster, as it is com- 
monly called by sailors, is a truly circumpolar species; wherever man 
has collected in the Arctic he has found this bird. It breeds on all 
the Arctic islands of the Eastern Hemisphere, and in the Western 
Hemisphere breeds north to Thank God Harbor, Greenland (Hall) — 
occurs north to Cape L^nion (Feilden), but not known to breed — King 
Oscar Land (Sverdrup), Prince Patrick Island (M'Clintock), Point 
Barrow, Alaska (Murdock), and the Chukchi Peninsula (Schalow). 
It breeds south along the Labrador coast to Hopedale (Townsend 
and Allen) and most likely even farther south, for it breeds not 
rarely in Newfoundland south to Bay of Islands (Arnold). It is 
quite common on the east coast of Hudson Bay south to the mouth 
of Great Whale River and even in James Bay (Macoun), while it 
seems to be absent in summer from the west coast south of Fuller ton 
(Low). It breeds along the Arctic coast from Cambridge Bay (Col- 
linson), to Franklin Bay (MacFarlane) and Herschel Island (Thayer), 
and is a common breeder on the northern shores of Bering Sea south 
to the mouth of the Yukon (Nelson), to the Kuskoquim (Hinckley), 
to the Pribilofs (specimen in U. S. National Museum) , and to Indian 
Point, Siberia (Thayer). 
Winter range.- — The breeding and wintering ranges of the glaucous 
gull overlap, since the species winters as far north as Ivigtut, Green- 
land (Hagerup) , and Cape Mercy, Baffin Land (Kunilien) , and thence 
south along the Atlantic coast regularly to Long Island (Peavey), 
rarely to the Great Lakes, and on the Pacific coast from the Aleu- 
tians south to Monterey, Cal. (Breninger) . In the Eastern Hemis- 
phere it winters south to the Mediterranean, Black, and Caspian Seas 
and to Japan. The few individuals that inhabit the shores of the
