Common on the European and British coasts during winter. We. 
have also received it from India. The sea appears to be its true 
habitation, but it is occasionally found frequenting fresh water, 
particularly in the breeding season, when it makes its nest on the 
borders of rivers, laying twelve eggs of a greenish-white colour, and 
generally within the arctic circle.

It is not without considerable diffidence that we have placed this 
bird as a distinct species from F. ferina. We have, however, examined 
a very large number of specimens, and find the following distinctions 
to hold good both in young and old birds. The bill in the present 
_ species is shorter than in /. ferina, the nail broader, and the whole 
bird rather larger. In form the nail is much more rounded at the 
sides, the bill more rounded immediately above the nostrils, and not 
so deeply channelled in the cage also broader measuring across 
the culmen.
