 of the Birds of New Brunswick " on the authority of Mr. 

 Boardman, who has lately informed me that he was mis- 

 taken in the identification. M. C.] 



6. Puffin. (Fratercula arctica.) 



Breeds sparingly along the whole coast, though more fre- 

 quent in the northern than in the southern division. Eggs 

 found on June 1 and June 10. Reinhardt states that only 

 one form of Fratercula occurs in Greenland, and he believes 

 that it is arctica, the common European Puffin.

 siders it plentiful on the coast, up to the 70th parallel. 

 Professor Newton found this form at Spitzbergen in com- 

 pany with true arctica. Mr. Ridgway states that the 

 two appear to differ only in size, glacialis being the 

 larger. M. C.] 



7. Black Guillemot. ( Oepphus grylle.) 



Resident, common, breeding everywhere. Eggs laid from 

 June 10 to July 25. 



[NOTE. It is probable that Mandt's Guillemot (Cepphus 

 Mandtii) occurs in Greenland. M. C.] 



8. Murre. ( Uria troile.) 



Rare ; probably breeds in small numbers. 



9. Briinnich's Murre. ( Uria lomvia.) 



Resident ; breeds in great numbers north of 64, and prob- 

 ably to the southward of that line. During winter it is
