187, Phalacrocorax carbo (Z.). Cormorant. 
Resident, breeding on the cliffs at Arncliffe near Saltburn,

years returned to their former haunt—the result of the 
protection afforded by the Sea-birds Preservation Act. 
Not uncommon on the coast at other seasons, and 
occasionally observed inland.

Periodical visitant to the coast, occurring in small numbers in
