Eemains usually out at sea, except during the breeding 

 season (see Dresser B. of Eur. viii., 568) ; it is taken not 

 unfrequently on the coast, and is sometimes found dead 

 on the shore ; very seldom occurs far inland. Mr. J. H. 

 Gurney, jun., thinks that the Kinged Guillemot may possibly 

 prove to be a distinct species. Different Suffolk examples 

 of the Guillemot, in my Collection, vary considerably in the 

 breadth and thickness of the bill. Mr. Dresser (B. of 

 Eur. u. s.) considers those found in winter with bills more 

 slender and lighter in colour, and with yellowish feet, to be 

 young birds.

 Everitt mentions that one was picked up on the beach (in the neigh- 

 bourhood of Lowestoft ?) in 1875 (Creed MS.).
