The Guillemot is found in immenfe numbers on feveral of the Englifli 

 coafts in fummer ; they continue in the Orknies * the whole year ; 

 chiefly breed in the uninhabited Ijle of Prhjihohn, near the Ijle of 

 Anglefea \ the Farn IJles near the coaft of Northumberland, and 

 among the high cliffs in the neighbourhood of Scarborough -f, York> 

 mire. Like the Auk, (which are alfo found with them in vaft num- 

 bers). They lay only one egg, more than three inches in length, of a 

 blueifh white or pale fea-green colour, moft elegantly ftreaked with 

 black lines crofling each other in every direction. 



They are very filly ; for though they fee their companions killed by 

 their fide, they only make a fhort circuit, and alight in the fame place 

 to be fhot at in turn. 



Our bird is feventeen inches in length, weight twenty-five ounces> 

 breadth twenty-feven inches and a half. Brunnich mentions a variety,
