The Ivory Gull (Pagofhila eburnea) at St. John, New Bruns¬ 
wick.— I am indebted to M. Chamberlain, Esq., for permission to announce 
the recent capture of an Ivory Gull at St. John, New Brunswick. The 
bird, which was in immature plumage, was shot in the harbor near the 
city in November, 18 S 0 . The skin was afterwards forwarded to the Smith¬ 
sonian Institution where it was identified. _ 
In a hurried glance through the various New England lists I do not find 
the species anywhere mentioned, excepting by Herrick, who gives it (Bui . 
Essex Inst., Vol. V, 1873 ) as a “ winter visitant” at Grand Menan. The 
occurrence of the present specimen so near our eastern border is therefore 
of no little interest.- William Brewster, Cambridge , Mass.

this gull is probably a regular visitor m winter to Lake Ontario.
