Lar\;s gl aucus . 
Manomet Point, Mass. 
1897. " I have just received, in the flesh, shot at Manomet 
Mar.19. point, Mar.19, a specimen in good condition of the Glaucus 
Gull (L.glaucus.) I thinl: there is no doubt as to its iden¬ 
tity. It is evidently a bird perhaps in the second year, white 
nearly all over, except for some faint barrings of indistinct 
brownish on head, wings, tail, rump and breast. The breast, 
.however, is much darker than any other part. The general ap¬ 
pearance of the bird at a little distance is dull white . 
The measurements above are distinctive and are as follows 
Length, 30 inches, or a trifle less: Extent of wings, 65 1/2: 
Wing, 19 1/8: Bill (to commissure), 3 5/43: Tail, 9: Tarsus, 
2 3/4: Iris hazel: Tarsi and feet flesh-colored: Bill flesh- 
colored, blackish at tip. 
I have not yet dissected it to ascertain the sex. I 
shall mount it soon. The first six primaries are pure white , 
the others with a faint marking near the tip."
