  called 
  also 
  vSea 
  dove, 
  vSea 
  pigeon, 
  Greenland 
  dove 
  and 
  

  

  Ice 
  bird, 
  is 
  an 
  irregular 
  winter 
  visitor 
  to 
  the 
  shores 
  of 
  Long 
  Island 
  and 
  

  

  New 
  York 
  bay. 
  Specimens 
  are 
  found 
  on 
  the 
  shore 
  nearly 
  every 
  winter, 
  

  

  dead 
  or 
  in 
  an 
  exhausted 
  condition. 
  Ofl 
  the 
  coast 
  it 
  is 
  frequently 
  observed 
  

  

  from 
  the 
  decks 
  of 
  passing 
  steamers. 
  Like 
  the 
  Briinnich 
  murre 
  it 
  soinetimes 
  

  

  straggles 
  up 
  the 
  St 
  Lawrence 
  to 
  Lake 
  Ontario. 
  There 
  is 
  one 
  record 
  for 
  

  

  Toronto, 
  November 
  18, 
  1901 
  [see 
  Ames, 
  Auk, 
  19:94]. 
  The 
  only 
  specimen 
  

  

  which 
  I 
  have 
  found 
  from 
  the 
  interior 
  of 
  New 
  York 
  State 
  was 
  picked 
  up 
  in 
  

  

  a 
  garden 
  at 
  Sweden, 
  about 
  15 
  miles 
  from 
  Lake 
  Ontario 
  and 
  died 
  soon 
  after 
  

  

  being 
  found. 
  The 
  following 
  records 
  in 
  recent 
  years 
  are
