FRATERCULA GLACIALIS, Stephens. 
[§ 4958. One.—Grimsey, Iceland. From Mr. Proctor, through 
Mr. Tristram, 1867. 
This is one of two eggs which had been for a long while in Mr. Tristram's 
collection. Mr, Proctor had told me of his having formerly received skins of 
the larger Puffin from Grimsey. This egg is certainly much bigger than the 
average of our Puflins’, but it is equalled in size by one or two. Herr 
Hantzsch (Vogelwelt Islands, pp. 105 et segg.) treats the Icelandic Puffin as 
belonging to the large Northern form, but I do not feel quite sure that the 
emaller and more southern /’. arctica may not also be there. |

‘ (Mr. Wolley wrote in his Egg-bvvk of this species in Sutherland in 1849:— 
“ Great NoRTHERN DivER—I saw many pairs on the saltwater Loch Eribol— 
‘not known to breed there—not seen with young; leave soon.’ This was on the 
8th of May. I nearly shot two Ember Geese with ball.” The name “ Ember 
Goose ” (Danish Jmber) is from the Icelandic Himbrimt.—Eb. |
