Tlie I’aeilie gull (G. pacilicus), both in 
the smart black and white mature and 
the dingier brown and white immature 
plumage, and tlie dainty silver gull were 
common. Three dottrells, the red- 
capped (AK. tupicopllla) and the rarer 
hooded (AK. monaelia) and the double- 
banded (0. bieinctus), the lower band be¬ 
ing almost invisible at a short distance, 
flitted about the edge of the waves or 
prospected in the seaweed left by the 
receding tide. Had not the trip in the 
boat been made in the dark on each 
occasion it is probable that several more 
sea birds would have been added to the 
list.
