BIRDS OF NORTHERN CANADA 299
on Crane Lake, Saskatchewan, in June, 1S94. He had previously
observed them in Gull Lake. Victoria, Ontario, iu
186S, and in 1S70 in Addington County, of the same Province.
Gidl nests as a rule are a mere cavity in the ground,
scantily lined with a few withered weeds and grasses, and
contain two and three eggs each. They are of a light blue
colour and generally unspotted. The Dominion Museum
holds but one skin, taken at Toronto by Mr. S. Herring in
1SS4, and thirteen eggs, mostly from Crane Lake, secured
by Mr. W. Spreadborough the same season!
54. RING- BILLED GULL— L a r u s dclawarensis ( Ord).
This species is believed to breed in Cumberland and
British Columbia. There is no mention of it among the
Anderson collections, nor was it met with on the Anderson;
neither does it figure in Mr. Ross's list. It is, however, fairly
common in British Columbia. Mr. W. Spreadborough found
this gull very abundant, breeding in great numbers on an
island in Crane Lake. Nest on the ground, made of dry grass;
eggs smaller than those of the herring gull, but never more
than three, often only two in number. The Ottawa collection
contains only one specimen ('.), taken by Mr. Herring in
Toronto, season 1SS2. and sixteen eggs from Lake Manitoba,
Crane Lake and Labrador, in the years 1S93, 1S94 and 1S95.
59. F R A N E X I X ' S GCIX— L a r u s franklinii ( Swainson and
Richardson).
A male example of this rosy gull was shot near Cumberland
House early in June, 1890. It was forwarded to
Washington, where it was duly identified by the late lamented
Major Charles E. Bendire. the Curator in charge of the
Oological Department of the IT. S. National Museum. Although
we failed to secure any skins or eggs of this species,
there is reason to believe that this beautiful bird breeds in
Canada's Arctic America. It is also said to be abundant in
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, where it breeds.
