Tuts species inhabits the seas about the Ork- 
nies, but in severe winters visits the southern 
parts of Great Britain. It lives as much. at 
sea as the former, so that credulity believed 
that it never quitted the water, and that it 
hatched its young in a hole formed by nature ° 
under the wing for that. end. hee: 
It is superior in size to a goose. The head 
is dusky; the back, coverts of the wings, and 
tail clouded with lighter and darker shades of 
the same; the primaries and tail are black; 
the under side of the neck spotted with dusky ; 
the breast and belly silvery; the legs black. 
The skins of the birds of this genus are un- 
commonly tough, and in the northern countries 
have been used as leather.
