Sound, just off the eastern shore of Bloodsworth Island, about half way up Chesapeake Bay.The boatman said that he often sees gulls with black backs in this neighborhood.Through the courtesy of the observer, Mr. S. E. Perkins, III, of Indianapolis, I can add the following sight records for the Atlantic Coast: On Octx• her 6 and again on October 17, 1931, a single Black-back was seen standing with twenty-five or thirty Herring and Ring-billed Gulls at a pool on the beach about eight miles south of Ocean City, Maryland; on October 24, five were seen with other gulls at the edge of the surf a mile north of the end of the Ocean City boardwalk; and on November 1, 1931, a single Blackback was seen near the same place.All birds were' observed through 8power glasses from a distance of about 300 yards.--ERNESTG.
