XXV. 
GULL’S NEST. 
Thekb does not seem to be any marked difference between either the eggs or 
the young of the Herring Gull and of the Lesser Black-backed Gull. The bird in 
the preceding plate might have belonged to either species — and the same may be 
said of the nest in the present plate, which, however, we had reason to believe 
belonged to a pair of Lesser Black-backed Gulls. The drawing was made from 
an actual specimen in situ; and whilst it was in progress the young bird in the 
egg, which it will be seen is chipped, fairly extricated himself from the shell.
