fairy Gull, whose natural home is within the arctic circle.
Genus C h r o ic o c e p h a l u s .'
The members o f this section of the Gulls have many pleasing traits in their character; thus they have the
habit of spending their summer in large communities, and of selecting as a site for their breeding-place the
inland waters o f some marsh or swampy island in the interior o f the country. Their interest is also much
added to by the circumstance o f their being subject to seasonal changes in the colouring of their plumage.
