BRUNNICH'S GUILLEMOT 



THICK-BILLED GUILLEMOT. 



PLATE CCVIL FIGURE I. 

 Uria brunnichii, SABINE. 



BRUNNICH'S Guillemot is a very rare straggler to the 

 north of the British Islands during autumn and winter. 

 Its eggs are, like those of the Common Guillemot, most 

 variable in colour. They are, Mr. Hewitson observes, less 

 fantastically streaked and blotted than those of the other, but 

 sometimes very regularly and beautifully marked all over with 

 small spots. 



In shape they are thicker and blunter than those of the 

 Common Guillemot.
