[Ivory Guu (Pagophila eburnea)|.—A specimen in the late Mr. 
T. Thompson’s collection said to have been shot off the mouth 
of Tyne, but that gentlemen and others did not think it authentic. 
[Brunnicw’s GuituEmMot (Uria bruennichi)|.—Mr. G. Bolam 
records that at one time the late Mr. Howse suspected one or 
more to have been shot off the Tyne, but could not trace them.
