Farriy launched now on the waves of the mighty ocean, 
a volume indeed of water, the land and the intermediate 
shore, which, though belonging to both belongs to neither, 
taken leave of, yet still, as will be seen, I have not ‘cast 
off the painter, and I hope that by means of this ultra- 
marine telegraph, a clear understanding may still be kept 
up by my readers, of the forms and features of the wild 
birds of the wild waters, whose portraits in their turn I 
now proceed to give. In other words, having completed, 
in the preceding volumes, the History of the British Land 
Birds, Waders, and others which pertain more or less to both 
land and sea, I now enter upon that of those which may 
the most strictly speaking be called sea-birds. Truly in 
following them, though only with the eye of the mind, we 
shall ‘see the works of the Lorp and His wonders in the 
deep.’ 
The present species is frequent in Greenland, and about 
Hudson’s Bay, in North America, from whence some indi- 
viduals advance as far south as the United States. 
In Europe, they occasionally make their way from Nova 
Zembla, the Ferroe Islands, Iceland, Norway, and Holland, 
by the Straits of Gibraltar to Italy and Sicily; and in Africa, 
in like manner, are found along the northern shores. In a 
few instances the species is recorded to have occurred on the 
lakes of Switzerland.
