south, but is described as abundant in many parts of Scotland, 
especially the western and northern islands. On the east side of

are to be seen. The bird is also wanting on the south and east 
coasts of England, from the Isle of Wight to Yorkshire.

on the Farn Islands and Isle of Coquet, off Northumberland, 
and on the coast of Cumberland. 
Mr. Robert Gray writes that a small colony has lately esta- 
blished itself on an island in Loch Lomond; and Sir W. Jardine 
tells us that it breeds on the Isle of May and off North Ber-
