78 A NATURALIST IN THE MAGDALEN ISLANDS. 



107. MERGULUS ALLS, (Z.) Vteill. 

 (Sea Dove.) 



Mr. Whalen showed me a specimen which he killed on 

 Bird Rock. He stated that they were occasionally seen in 

 winter. 



108. URIA GRYLLE, (Z.) Brunn. 

 (Black Guillemot.) 



A very abundant species. I arrived too late to find its 

 eggs, but it breeds commonly at Wolf Island and Cap au 

 Meule. A few breed on Byron Island, but none have been 

 found on Bird Rock. 



109. LOMVIA TROILE, {L.) Brandt. 

 (Common Guillemot ) 



Very abundant on Bird Rock. Some few were found on 

 Byron Island, but I did not observe any on the other islands. 

 The young have their upper parts covered with a blackish 

 down, mixed with silver gray ; the under parts are white.
