1361 . A Tame Kitti-wake Gull. From the‘Amateur Collector.’ Ibid., 
No. 7 , Sept. 8 , p. 124 .—A very interesting account of the habits of a 
young Kittiwake Gull. Fresh water was refused, but saltwater “it drank 
of eagerly.” For, & Vol.XXISi. 
One-legged Bird. Probably every col¬ 
lector who shoots many birds, not unfre- 
quently obtains one with but one leg, the 
other being lost by some accident and 
usually by shot. A very peculiar case came 
under my observation. I had a lot of 
Kittewake Gulls, and sold one to Mr. T. 
Adcock of this city. A few days afterwards 
he returned and asked me if I had noticed 
that one Gull had but one leg. Upon my 
answering in the negative he said he had 
brought the body down for my inspection. 
It had but one leg and there was nothing 
to show that it ever had any portion of 
another one.—Fred. T. Jencks , Provi¬ 
dence. , R. I. O.&O. IX. Jan. 1884. v./l
