There arc two somewhat rare and very beautiful varieties, one of which has reddish spots on a light greenish ground, and the other, which is very rare, has a pale reddish-buff ground with rich red-brown blotches on it and pale reddish undermarks. I have only once met with the latter variety, in a colony on the Culbins. The eggs of the Lesser Black-backed Gull are almost indistinguishable from those of the Herring Gull, and need most careful identification ; they vary in length from 2'9 to 2'4 i...nches, and in breadth from 2'i to r8 inches. Young in down of this species are greyish-buff on the upper parts and white on the belly. The head and throat are conspicuously spotted with black, and the rest of the upper parts have dark brown mottlings. The legs and feet are flesh-coloured. -~F~' ^^ESr^VJsESZ 3' PLATE I LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL. Larus fuscus June 4//r, 1895. The nest depicted in this Plate was photographed on the Outer Wide -opens, Fame Islands, among the scurvy grass which entirely covers the greater part of the Island, and was in full flower at the time of our visit.
