272 RAMBLES OF A NATURALIST. 
“Briinnich’s Guillemot is included by Sir W. Milner in his 
list of the Birds of Sutherland, published in the Zoologist; but 
Mr. Henry Milner has kindly informed me that the bird was not 
found breeding there, and only a single specimen was purchased 
on that occasion.” 
This has been requoted by Mr. Gray and Mr. Harting, 
but I have turned to Sir William’s list (Zool., 2014) and 
cannot find any mention of it. I conclude, however, that in 
some way confusion has arisen with his later records in the 
same volume, (pp. 2059, 2061) in which he speaks of a 
Briinnich’s Guillemot and egg at Soa, a little island close 
to St. Kilda. 
It has been “once met with” in Banffshire, fide Mr. T. 
Edward (Zool., 6971), and once in Caithness. 
In England I have no remarks to offer on one killed at 
Rosemullion Head, in Cornwall, by Mr. G. Copeland (“ Cor- 
nish fauna,” p. 39), except to say that Mr. Rodd in his 
more recent catalogue takes no notice of it; nor any to 
make on a specimen obtained at Freshwater on the 7th of 
February, 1860, by Mr, Rogers, (Guide to the Isle of Wight, 
Pp. 434). 
On the whole I do not believe in any of them, and I 
think that unless further evidence is forthcoming, this 
Guillemot might really be withdrawn from the British list.
