Larus canus H. & O. p. 517. 
I have seen one Common Gall hanging in the market, 
and noticed medium-sized Gulls about the harbour and coast 
which were doubtless of this species. 
This Gull was common at Newchwang in 1889. 
252. Lams argentatus vegse Stejn.

Large Herring-Gulls pass at much the same seasons as 
the Laughing Gull, and are to be seen often during the 
winter about the harbour or passing over the plain. Those 
seen at fairly close quarters appeared to be the Pink-legged 
Herring-Gull. A few specimens are to be seen hanging in 
the game-shops in winter. 
Larus crassirostris was common at Newchwang in 1889, 
but I have no certain note of its occurrence at Chinwangtao. 
If it does occur, it is very rare. 
253. Lams cachinnans Pall. 
Larus cachinnans H. & O. p. 520. 
On the 29th of November, 1914, I saw an immature 
example of the Mediterranean Herring-Gull hanging in a 
game-shop in the village. 
254. Lams glancus Brunn. 
On the 5th of February, 1917, I observed among a 
number of Gulls in the harbour two Glaucous Gulls. I had 
not noticed this species at Chinwangtao before, but it is quite 
possible that I had overlooked it. The winter 1916-1917 was 
exceedingly cold and the port was ice-bound for some time, 
so that the presence of these Gulls here was probably due to 
the severe weather-conditions prevailing at the time.
