GUILLEMOT, BRUNNICK’S. 
Urta Brunnicuit, Sabine. 
Brunnick’s Guillemot is at once distinguished, at 
any season of the year, from our common Guillemot 
by the shortness, stoutness, and regularity of its 
bill. This species has occasionally been met with 
in the Orkneys and the Shetland Islands, on the 
coast of Kerry in Ireland, and on the Faroe Islands, 
Iceland, Spitzbergen, and the Arctic Sea, &e. One 
example is said to have been killed as far to the 
south as the vicinity of Naples. It does not differ 
in its habits and food from the common Guillemot. 
It is said to breed at Grimsey, an island situated 
about forty miles from Iceland, in company with 
the common Guillemot, the eggs greatly resem- 
bling each other.
