PUFFINUS ANGLORUM. 435 
§ 5105. One.—Orkney, 1850. From Mr. George Harvey. 
Out of seven. There is one with a slight appearance of marking 
such as there is on one of the Fulmar’s eggs I got in Fverée. 
§ 5106. Mime.—Orkney, 1851. From Mr. George Harvey. 
§ 5107. Oxze.—Unst, Shetland, 1852. From Dr. Frere. 
Sent by Mr. James Smith, the schoolmaster [cf. § 4675]. This 
egg I chose in consequence of its very distinct markings, principally 
at the larger end. On holding the egg so as to let the light of a 
candle fall very obliquely upon it, it will be seen that these linear 
markings are, in many instances, little depressions in the shell itself. 
§ 5108. Zhree.—Ferée, 1853. From Sysselmand Winther. 
§ 5109. Five.—Naalsoe, Ferde, 1556. From Sysselmand 
Miiller. 
[There were eight sent. One was sold at Mr. Stevens's rooms, 23 February, 
1858, to Mr. Braikenridge, and has since passed into the possession of 
Mr. Parkin. Two others I sent to Dr. Baldamus, in 1860. ]

Mr. Robert Harvey. 
’ Mr. Harvey’s note says that these were taken by Donald MacCarter “at 
some part of the cliff on the north side of the island which he is not willing 
to mention. He goes at night, as he says the birds are out at sea, fishing, all 
day and return to the nest at night, at which time he takes both bird and egg. 
Mr. Gage’s observation and my own corroborate this statement. We never 
see these birds in the cliffs or find them fishing like other rock-birds close to 
land. It is only at early morning or evening twilight we ever see them, and 
then (so far as we have observed) they seem to be going from the island in 
the morning and returning at evening.” |
