PUFFIN, 
OF THE ISLE OF WIGHT. 
Edwards,, whose excellent figure of this 
curious bird we have adopted, says that the 
Isle of Wight Puffin is of a different genus 
from the Puffin of the Isle of Man. 
It is the Alca Ar£lica, of Linnsus ; the 
Fratercula, of Brisson ; the Anas Ar(5lica-> of 
Sibbald, of Willughby, and of Ray; the 
Piautus Artticus, of Klein ; the Londa, of 
Clusius, of Nieremberg, and of Joimston; 
the Puphinus Anglicus, of Ges.ner, and of 
Aldrovandus; the Macareux, of Buffon ; and 
the Isle of Wight Puffin, of Edwards. It has, 
also, received a number of local names, chiefly 
on account of the singular stru61:ure of it's bill. 
In Martin's St. Kilda, it is called the Bowger ; 
by Anderson, and our Whale-fishers, the 
Greenland Parrot; in North Wales, the Puf- 
fin; in South Wales, the Golden Head. Bottle- 
Nose, and Helegug ; in Yorkshire, near Scar- 
borough, the Mullet ; and in Durham, at the 
Mouth of the Tees, as well as by some natu- 
ralists,
