In a collection of beautifully mounted birds at the High 
School building at Cheyenne, Wyo., is a fine specimen of this 
species, that was brought to Mr. F. Bond in the flesh and 
mounted by him, as were the other birds in this collection. 
Mr. Bond writes that years when he has been collecting he has 
seen a few in autumn on the lakes near Cheyenne. This record, 
taken in connection with that already published, would indi¬ 
cate that this species was quite regular in visiting the eastern 
slope of the range, though never common.

The same collection contains one of these birds, shot in the 
vicinity by Mr. Bond, who has also seen several others in 
autumn on the lakes. As Cheyenne is only just over the Colo¬ 
rado line, these records make it probable that this species will 
eventually be taken in Colorado east of the range.

Mr. E. E. Berthoud writes that he has seen two specimens 
that were killed on the lakes northeast of Golden.

Migratory; rare or accidental. In the collection of Mr. 
Manly Hardy, Brewer, Me., there is a young male of this spe¬ 
cies taken May 25, 1885, at Loveland, Colo., by W. G. Smith. 
Mr. Hardy writes that there can be no question whatever of the 
identity of the specimen. This is the first record for Colorado, 
and a very strange record, since the species inhabits Arctic 
America and is rarely found anywhere in the United States.

To previous records add one taken November 15, 1895, at 
Pueblo by Mr. H. W. Nash; also one taken and several others 
seen by Mr. F. Bond at Cheyenne.

Near Golden in the early days of the settlement of that 
country Mr. E. L. Berthoud says that these gulls were not 
uncommon, but have disappeared of late years.
