Text Appearing Before Image:
e, with fine grey brown stripes on eachfeather; head, neck, mantle, and all the wing covertsgreyish white, with brown spots, darker than the underparts. Tail dotted and marbled with very dull brown,the two outer feathers whiter than the others, the twomiddle feathers almost entirely brown, all barred atthe tips with a broadish brown band. Wing primariesblackish brown, with clearer tips; beak blackish; basisof lower jaw flesh-coloured; feet the same; iris clearbrown. Mr. Beaumont then makes some very just remarksabout the absurdity of creating the genuis Xema fordark-headed Gulls with thin beaks, and naively asks,where are we to place this giant of black heads, withthe beak of Larus and the dark head of Xema. My figure is from the English specimen in the lateMr. Rosss collection, a drawing of which, with Mrs.Rosss consent, has been taken for this work by theRev. F. Wright, of St. Stythray, Cornwall, to both ofwhom my best thanks are tendered. The figure of the e^,§ is from Thienemann.
