5. Urinator arcticus [Linn.). Black-throated Loon. (9.) — 

 Breeds in the far north, migrating southward to Southern Canada. 

 The only record of its occurrence near New York is based on an 

 adult male taken April 29, 1893, between Sands Point and Execution 

 Lighthouse, L. I. [Dutcher % Auk, X, 1893, p. 265). 



6. Urinator lumme (Giuin.). Red-throated Loon. (11 ) — 

 Breeds from New Brunswick northward ; in winter migrates 

 irregularly southward, occasionally to South Carolina. About 

 New York it is a not uncommon winter resident but is more 

 frequently found during the migrations.

7. Fratercula arctica {Linn ). Puffin. (13.) — Breeds from 

 the Bay of Fundy northward ; in winter migrates southward, coming 

 rarely as far as Long Island. There is but one recent record of

 (Butcher, Auk, V, 1888, p. 171). 



8. Cepphus grylle (Linn.). Black Guillemot. (27.) —

 southward, regularly to Massachusetts. It has been found but 

 once in Connecticut (Stony Creek, Dec. 1887. — Sage, Auk, VII, 

 1890, p. 283), and the only Long Island record, given by Lawrence, 

 is apparently based on a specimen in the Lawrence Collection 

 labeled "Long Island". 



9. Uria lomvia (Linn.). Brunnich'sMurre. (31.) — Breeds 

 from the Magdalen Islands northward ; in winter migrates south- 

 ward as far as New Jersey. On the western end of Long Island
