They were extraordinarily fat at that stage, weighing about 31 lb, whereas the adult bird weighed only only l*lb to Iflb, When the parent birds had fattened up the young to that stage they went away .and left them to fine down until • they were thin enough to fly. From • a small island of less than 100 acres a “crop” of 11,500 mutton birds had been taken during the past season. Waiting to prey on the mutton birds; or other small birds was the skua gull, v These gulls for part of the year at any rate Ifed almost entirely on petrels, and the young skuas we're almost., as ferocious as their parents. Two of the lecturer’s friends were struck; about the head by these gulls. Science says “breathe your cold , away!*’ Inhale “Nazol” penetrates right to the root of the trouble.
