Glaucous Gull (Larus hyperboreus) on Fresh Pond, Cambridge, 
Mass. — Mr. Brewster in his “Birds of the Cambridge Region” records 
an occurrence of a Glaucous Gull on Fresh Pond in the ‘hutchinsii’ plumage 
on November 29, 1899. I am able to furnish a second record. On March 
2, 1914, in the middle of the forenoon one appeared among the Herring 
Gulls which were coming in from Boston Harbor to rest and bathe. It 
was an entirely white bird and much larger than the Herring Gulls. Ice 
covered most of the surface of the pond, but about an open area reaching 
to the shore, where the water is received by an entrance pipe, was a col¬ 
lection of Black Ducks and Herring Gulls with a pair of Golden-eyes, a 
Mallard Drake, and three Great Black-backed Gulls. Other Herring 
Gulls were arriving, and with a squad of these came the Glaucous Gull. 
It remained to bathe, successively took two or three flights about, but 
returned after each flight to the open water or to the edge of the ice, where 
were gathered the Black Ducks. Its position among these at times made 
the bird very striking in its complete whiteness. It was still present when 
an hour later I came away. The next day again this Glaucous Gull was 
present, arriving with Great Black-backed Gulls and Herring Gulls at 11.20 
a. m., but the following day it was absent, and it was not seen again.—
