exceptional circumstance to meet with its close congener, Uria lacrymans. It is 
three years since I vbtained a specimen of this latter species, and the bird had been 
shot and stuffed several years previously. It had been shot on the cliffs of Flam- 
borough. On May the 20th of the present year I purchased a fine specimen of Uria 
Jacrymans in the flesh.) It had been shot the day before (May; 19th), by Robert 
Cross, of Flamborough, from a boat, as it was sitting on the water just outside the 
principal cave: It is a rather remarkable cireumstance that Robert Cross had been 
out with a party shooting sea-birds for several hours. They had failed in bagging 
any bird worthy of special interest, and, having expended all their ammunition, with 
the exception of a single charge, were returning home. A guillemot was observed by 
one of the party on the water at the very mouth of the principal cave, and Cross, the 
owner of the last “shot in the locker,” was requested to bring it to hag. This he 
succeeded in doing, and the bird proved to be an unusually rich specimen of the ring 
or bridled guillemot, which I have since added to my collection. On dissection 
I found it to be a mature feinale.—W. W. Boulton ; Beverley, July 8, 1864.
