78 A NATURALIST IN THE MAGDALEN ISLANDS. 



107. MERGULUS ALLE, (Z.) Vieill. 

 (SEA DOVE.) 



Mr. Whalen showed me a specimen which he killed on 

 Bird Rock. He stated that they were occasionally seen in 

 winter. 



1 08. URIA GRYLLE, (Z.) Brunn. 

 (BLACK GUILLEMOT.) 



A very abundant species. I arrived too late to find its 

 eggs, but it breeds commonly at Wolf Island and Cap au 

 Meule. A few breed on Byron Island, but none have been 

 found on Bird Rock. 



109. LOMVIA TROILE, (Z.) Brandt. 

 (COMMON GUILLEMOT) 



Very abundant on Bird Rock. Some few were found on 

 Byron Island, but I did not observe any on the other islands. 

 The young have their upper parts covered with a blackish 

 down, mixed with silver gray; the under parts are white.
