Uria Grylle is a resident species. U. Trotle, Frat. arc- 
tica, and Alea Torda, are regular summer visitants, having 
breeding-haunts around the coast: either or both of the two | 
former I am disposed to believe may occasionally be found in 
small numbers in the bays of Ireland during winter. Uria 
Brunnichii is noticed by Major Sabine as seen by him in the 
month of July on the coast of Kerry*, where it may be pre- 
sumed to breed. By this able ornithologist, the Merg. me- 
lanoleucos (M. Alle) was observed at the same time with U. 
Brunnichit; here it also may have its nestling-places ; in two 
instances I know of this bird having been shot on the coasts of 
Wexford and Kerry. Of Alcea impennis, a single specimen is 
on record as Irish.

The first two are common and resident. Sula Bassana is 
common on the coast of Ireland in summer and autumn; the in- 
dividuals which frequent the northern parts have their breed- 
ing-haunts in Scotland. On the Irish coast this species breeds 
only on one of the Skelig islands off Kerry.
