Text Appearing Before Image:
its full summer dress was taken. In winter, the conspicuousblack hood is entirely changed to white, as is tbe case with all the other species of this remarkable genus. The native habitat of the Black-headed Gull is the more southern parts of Europe, particularly along theshores of the Adriatic. It is said to be very abundant in Dalmatia, inhabiting and breeding in the marshesin the same manner as the Laughing Gull (Larus ridibundus, Linn.), so common in our island. Its food consists of small fishes, snails, and various species of marine insects. The whole of the head, with the exception of a small patch of white above and below the eye, is of aprofound black ; tbe back of the neck, chest, tail, and all the under parts pure white; the whole of the uppersurface delicate pearl grey ; the primaries white at their tips; the outer web of the first primary is black forthree parts of its length from the base; beak, legs, and eyelids vermilion ; irides brown. The figure is of the natural size.

It was first noticed as occurring in our island by ColonelMontagu, since which period examples have been killed at different times, and we have ourselves had thepleasure of receiving it in a recent state. Like the other species of the present genus, the Little Gull is a bird which exhibits a remarkable disparityof colouring in the winter and summer states of plumage, as well as from youth to maturity: all the exampleskilled in our island have been e
