. An illustrated manual of British birds. Birds. LARID^.. 667. THE MEDITERRANEAN BLACK-HEADED GULL. Larus mjSlanoc^phalus, Natterer. On December 26th 1886, Mr. G. Smith of Great Yarmouth in- formed me that he had just received an adult example of this species in winter-plumage, shot on Breydon Broad; the bird was examined in the flesh by Messrs. Southwell, J. H. Gurney and others, and I subsequently exhibited it at a meeting of the Zoological Society of London. This is the first authenticated instance of the occurrence of the Mediterranean Black-headed Gull in the British Islands. There is, however, an immature specimen in the British Museum, which is said (and, I believe, with truth) to have been shot in January 1866, near Barking Creek on the Thames ; but this was not correctly identified until I saw it in 1871, and, considering the possibility of some accidental exchange during the interval, I did not include the species in the 4th edition of ' Yarrell.' Its characteristics were, however, described in that work, and the result was the identification of the Breydon bird. I have seen examples of this Gull from the mouth of the Somme in the north of France, whence a southerly gale would soon bring it to our coasts, and it is found nearly every year at the mouth of the Gironde; while there may be some breeding-place along the low shores to the southward, as about a score of birds, unmistakably of this species, were observed during the first week of March 1882 at.
