A well-known and common species in the North 

 Atlantic Ocean, chiefly on the eastern or European 

 side. Many nesting-places are known on islands off the 

 western coast of the British Islands and round the coast 

 of Ireland. It also breeds in some numbers on the 

 Faeroes and is found on the coast of Norway and 

 throughout the North Sea. 



In the Mediterranean a closely allied form, called 

 P. yelkouan, occurs, the distinctness of which is ques- 

 tionable. This southern, bird has been traced to the 

 Atlantic and to the shores of Devonshire. [0. S.]
