they have only three toes, all united by a web; as the Guil¬ 
lemot ( Uria ), the Rotche ( Mergulus ), Puffin ( Fratercula ), 
and the Auk ( Alco ). 
Cases Nos. 35—38. The Pelicans (JPelicanidce) have, 
on the contrary, long and powerful wings, very short legs, 
and four toes, all united by a continuous web; as the Cor¬ 
morant ( Phalacrocorax ), and the Gannet ( Sula ). 
The Gulls ( Laridce ), Cases Nos. 39—42, have equally 
long wings, but the hind toe is free, and sometimes very 
short and rudimentary; as the Terns [Sterna), the Gulls 
( Larus ), the Skua ( Lestris ), and the Petrel ( Procellaria ).
