Mr. Whalen showed me a specimen which he killed on 

 Bird Rock. He stated that they were occasionally seen in 

 winter. 



108. UR/A GRVLLE, (L.) Bniuji. 

 (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.

Very abundant on Bird R.ock. Some few were found on 

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

 The youns: have their unoer parts covered w^ith a blackish 

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