Larus glaucus. 
Sav/ an immature bird as vre v^ore pass ing Cape Eliza¬ 
beth, near Portland, Maine, 
Among some thirty large Gulls fishing close to tho 
v/harf at gastport, Maine, v/ere several of this species, 
which with Larus leucopte rus, made up about one—quarter 
of the total number, the remaining three-quarters being 
Honing Gulls. Several also follov/ed tho steamer all 
the way from Mt.Desert, keeping steadj.ly along siae in 
iti- wake, oi twn coming jrery near and greedily picking 
up any kind of fish which wo threw overboard for them. 
They seemed to me lighter and more graceful on the vring 
than tho Herring Gulls but the difference in size between 
the tv/o species \7as only appreciable when the birds wore 
very near.
