 British Islands. 



Another species, Fratercula glacialis (Leach), was 

 reported to have been met with in the Isle of Wight* ; 

 but the identification of the specimen obtained sub- 

 sequently proved to be incorrect. 



An excellent account of P. glacialis, by Professor 

 Newton, with a coloured plate by Wolf, will be found 

 in The Ibis ' for 1865, p. 212, pi. vi. 



EAZOK-BILL. Alca torda, Linnseus. 



May be found in the tideway of the open sea all 

 round the coast at any time of year, but is most con- 

 spicuous when frequenting the cliffs in hundreds during 

 the breeding-season.
