CEPPHUS GRYLLE (Linneus). 
TEISTY or BLACK GUILLEMOT. 
§ 4893. One.—Bought at Liverpool before 1843. 
§ 4894. One—From Mr. Green, 1844. 
Bought of James Green, Poulterer, 10 Mulberry Court, White 
Cross Place, Finsbury, a man who understands birds and eggs well. 
He was recommended to me by Mr. Leadbeater [cf. § 3636]. 
§ 4895. Ywo.—Shetland. From Mr. Tuke, 1847. 
[No doubt received from Mr. James Smith; of Unst (ef. § 4675).] 
§ 4896. One.—Oxna (or Papa), Shetland, 22 June, 1849. 
‘Saw bird on. J. W.” 
§ 4897. Seven.—Shetland, 22 June, 1849. 
I took one egg [$4896] in an island off Scalloway, and I bought 
from a boy seven which were fresh, and probably of the second laying. 
I believe I caught the bird on the egg mentioned above, at all events 
it was under the large stone where I found it. I saw some of the 
birds off Handa [cf. § 4865], and I have seen one or two on the 
Bass Rock. They are very abundant round Shetland. 
§ 4828. Zwo.—Ferée, 1850. From Sysselmand Winther. 
Herr Winther writes that the eggs of this bird as well as those of ~ 
the Shearwater are “ difficult to get, as the people like the young so 
well” [to eat]. We saw and shot plenty of the adults; plumage § | 
beginning to change at the end of July, or sooner. We also found 
their two black young under a stone, the old birds sitting near with 
long, little fish in their mouth, making a plaintive noise. 
§ 4899. Siz.—Shetland, 1850. From Dr. Frere, 1851. 
(These no doubt from Mr. Smith, of Unst.]
