MIGRATION. 



THE UNUSUAL MIGRATION OF BRUNNICH'S 



MURRE (URIA LOMVIÂ) IN EASTERN 



NORTH AMERICA. 



By J. H. Fleming (Toronto, Canada). 



Brunnich's Murre or Guillemot has usually been regarded 

 as a strictly northern maritime species. The accompanying 

 maps show how widely the species has diverged from its 

 regular winter range during the period dealt with in this 

 paper. 



In preparing this paper I have been greatly assisted with 

 records supplied by the following gentlemen, to whom my 

 best thanks are due, and without whose assistance the tracing 

 of the various migrations would have been difficult, if not 

 impossible. 



ToDr. A. K. Fisher, who examined the stomachs of Uria lomvia 

 in connection with the Biological Survey at Washington; 

 to Dr. L. B. Bishop, for Connecticut records ; to Dr. W. C. 

 Braslin, for Long Island records ; to Mr. Norman A. Wood, 

 for Michigan records ; to Mr. C. E. Dionne, for Quebec 

 records ; to Mr. W. H. Moore, for New Brunswick records ; 

 to Mr. Geo. R. White, Mr. W. E. Saunders, Mr. J. Hughes 

 Samuel, and Dr. G. A. McCallum, for Ontario records. 

 Mr. P. A. Taverner has redrawn the maps, and put them 

 in their present form.
