Descrip- 

 tion. 



X HIS bird is about the bulk of the house swal- 

 low ; the length six inches ; the extent of wings 

 thirteen. The whole bird is black, except the 

 coverts of the tail and vent-feathers, which are 

 white ; the bill is hooked at the end ; the nos- 

 trils tubular; the legs slender, and long. It 

 has the same faculty of spouting oil from its bill 

 as the other species ; and Mr. Brunnich tells 

 us, that the inhabitants of the Ferroe isles make 

 this bird serve the purposes of a candle, by 

 drawing a wick through the mouth and rump, 

 which being lighted, the flame js fed by the fat 

 and oil of the body. Except in breeding time
