Gilmore Glaucous Gull 2 (1931) the Point Hope peninsula. I saw great numbers of these gulls. Their large white forms could be made out at long distances on the tundra, over the gravel or water. They were continually to be found along the beach in small groups or occasionally in large numbers about the stranded or cut carcasses of white whales or walrus. Occasionally they were to be seen in small groups sitting on the tundra near some lagoon. They are quite wary & calmly keep out of gunshot, generally flying just out of range & alighting on the water. They are magnificent birds, very conspicuous & dignified. Once in a while on one occasion I saw a flock of 7-8 flying 400 ft high up & uttering very goose-like cries. Aug 1. Especially numerous on the small lagoon to the N.E.
