This undated item contains a description of the nest, eggs, and nestlings of the Gray-headed Gull written by Mearns. The descriptions relate to observations and notes he took while in Kenya and perhaps other African countries. Dates are probably between 1908 and 1912, as those are the years Mearns traveled to and collected in Africa.
