388 ALCA BRUENNICHI. 
[§ 4858. One.—West Coast of Baffin’s Sea, Lat.73° N. From 
Dr. David Walker, R.N., Naturalist to the ‘ Fox,’ 
R.Y.8,, 1860. 
Kindly given to me by Dr. Walker on his return from Sir Leopold 
McClintock’s celebrated voyage; but though sent to me unhesitatingly as 
that of Briinnich’s Guillemot, the Doctor afterwards wrote that “ Uria troile 
was associated with U. bruennichi at the Cape Graham Moore ‘ Loomery,’” 
whence this egg was most likely procured (cf. Voy. ‘ Fox,’ pp. 151, 152).] 
[§ 4859. Five—Horse Head, North Greenland, Lat. 75° N., 
1861. From Dr. James Taylor, 1862. 
Through Sir William Jardine I heard of Dr. Taylor, of Allanvale, 
Pitmuxton, who had been surgeon on board of a whaling-ship, and brought 
these with some other eggs from Davies Strait in 1861. | 
(§ 4860. One.—Grimsey, 1885. From Mr. Thomas Carter, 
L903, 
That this egg came from Grimsey I doubt not, though Mr. Carter did not 
take it himself, but got it through Herr Hansen, who lived at Akureyri. 
As before stated (§ 4856). there is no doubt, however, that Alca troile breeds 
in this island, and accordingly this egg is open to suspicion. ] 
[§ 4861. Zen.—South Goose Cape, Nova Zembla, 8 July, 1894. 
From Mr. Arnold Pike. 
Mr. Pike wrote to me that he took these himself, and also that on the same 
occasion he ‘ took the eggs of a Glaucous Gull which was nesting among the 
Guillemots—a very common thing.” I believe there is not a suspicion of 
our common Guillemot in Nova Zembla. | 
[§ 4862. Zwo—Cape Flora, Franz-Josef Land, 30 June, 1896. 
From the Jackson-Harmsworth Expedition, through 
Mr. Dresser, 1905. 
The eggs of this species obtained by the expedition, mostly at Cape Flora, 
are described by Mr. Frohawk in Mr. Jackson’s work (‘A Thousand Days in 
the Arctic,’ ii. p. 395), and that gentleman himself has some notes on the 
birds (tom. cit. pp. 409-411), of which he says that he “shot many hundreds 
for food for the winter.” As might be expected, our common Guillempt was 
not met with. |
