MatiEmMuck. An old Dutch-mariner’s name for the FULMAR. 
Now corrupted into ‘‘ Molly-mawk,” and applied to various 
other species such as the BLACK-BROWED ALBATROSS. 
‘‘ Mallemucke”’ occurs for the Fulmar in Martin’s “ Voyage 
to Spitzbergen,” and Bewick (1804) gives “ Mallemoke.” 
Mallemock, Mallimoke, Malmock, or Malduck are still 
Shetland names for the Fulmar, and Mollemoke or Molle- 
mawk Yorkshire names both for that species and the 
GLAUCOUS GULL. 
Man-or-war Birp: The ARCTIC SKUA. (Provincial.) 
MANX SHEARWATER [No. 328]. The name first occurs in 
Selby. Willughby calls it the “‘ Puffin of the Isle of Man,” 
and Edwards the ‘“ Manks Puffin.” Pennant terms it the 
Manx Petrel and Montagu simply “ Shearwater.” 
Willughby quotes Sir Thomas Browne as saying that it 
doth as it were radere aquam, shear the water, from whence 
perhaps it had its name.”
