BRUNNICH'S GUILLEMOT. 



THICK-BILLED GUILLEMOT. 

 PLATE CCVII. FIG. I. 



Uria Brunnichii, . . . Fleming. Jenyns. 



The eggs of this species are like those of the common 

 kind — most variable in colour. The ground tint is green- 

 ish blue. They are, Mr. Hewitson observes, less fantasti- 

 cally streaked and blotted than those of the other, but 

 sometimes very regularly and beautifully marked all 

 over with small spots.
