soon as they are well able to shift for themselves the 

 majority of Razorbills quit the immediate neighbourhood 

 of their breeding-places, and may be found in small 

 parties scattered all over our seas wherever small fishes 

 are to be found. I am acquainted with several instances 

 of the occurrence of this bird far inland, but these 

 erratic appearances are not so frequently recorded of the 

 Razorbill as of many other oceanic species.
