plumage. | 
CEPPHUS MANDT] (H. Lichtenstein). 
§ 4918. One.—Spitsbergen [1856 ?]. From Pastor Sommer- 
felt, 1857 [?]. 
[There is some little doubt as to the history of this egg, which was not 
entered in his book by Mr. Wolley; but I believe it was brought from 
Spitsbergen in 1856, by a yagt (the name of which is not clearly to be read, 
but looks like “Shedila”), and given to Mr. Wolley by Herr Sommerfelt 
together with the Rotche’s (§ 4928), in which case it unquestionably belongs 
to the northern form of Teisty (C. mandtz). | 
[§ 4919. One.—West coast of Baffin’s Bay. From Dr. David 
Walker, R.N., Naturalist to the ‘ Fox,’ R.Y.S., 1860. 
This ege was sent to me by Dr. Walker as that of a Kittiwake taken in 
Lat. 73° N., which it clearly is not, and is as clearly that of the Teisty or 
Dovekey of that coast, which I suppose to be C. mandti. It was probably 
taken in 1858. | 
[§ 4920. Zwo.—Safe Haven, Ice Sound, Spitsbergen, 10 July, 
1864. ‘“ With bird.” 
These brought to me in the evening of that day with a bird knocked down 
with an oar. Campbell, the mate of the ‘Sultana,’ and one of the men had been 
on shore on the east side of the bay and got them. They said the eggs were 
lying on the rock and not in a hole; and Herr Malmgren afterwards told me 
that in Spitsbergen, both this species and the Little Auk often lay their eggs 
on the rocks instead of in a hole. The bird which I had from this nest has 
no black bar on the wings. The skin is now in the Museum of the 
University. | 
[§ 4921. Onxe.—From the late Mr. Scales’s Collection, 1885. 
This egg is inscribed in Mr. Scales’s handwriting “Sabine... . llemot,” 
and I can hardly doubt was obtained by him from one of the brothers Sabine, 
in which case it was most likely brought home by one of the old Arctic 
Expeditions, and therefore would belong to C. mandtz, for it is obviously that 
of one of the forms of Black Guillemot. |
