THE CONDOR 
LIGHT TOWER HILL AND BREAKER BAY FROM JORDAN 
plendois). This species does not congregate in large colonies in 
community which comprised only eight or ten nests on the face 
side, has disappeared. 
(8) Western gull {Lari/s 
occidentalis). A colony of 
gulls along a slight ridge of 
approach to the bridge over 
Jordan have left. Many of 
the smaller colonies of gulls 
that were to be found at the 
south end of the island in 1887 
have disappeared. The gulls 
are now congregated at the 
west end. 
(9) Cassin aukletC/’/ir/zcr- 
amphus aleuticus) holds its 
own along the stone walls of 
the tramway, and is increasing 
in numbers, if anything. 
(10) Western gulls had 
here a small scattered colony 
over the low flat rocks facing 
Fisherman’s Bay. I found 
only two nests in this locality 
in 1903. It was here I learned 
.something of the pup sea- 
lion’s love for fresh eggs. 
Early one morning I met a pup 
with its mouth bedaubed with 
egg, making its way among 
the gull nests. Two more 
(4 and 5) Brandt 
cormorant. Of these 
large coloniesnoth- 
ing is left. 
(6) Tufted puflin 
(^Lunda cirrhatn^. 
This was the largest 
single nesting site 
of puffins on the 
island, in 1887, and 
still is. As the 
puffin is a burrow- 
ing species it is 
more ptotected dur- 
ing the nesting 
season.
