Brewer, Me. 
1890. 
A (thick-billed^ Guillemot) was picked up alive on the 
railroad track in January, over sixty miles north of the nearest 
open water and a hundred miles north of where they were ever known 
to have been taken. Some three years ago one was picked up on 
the rialroad track here and brought to me alive. It was in Janu¬ 
ary, and the weather was bitterly cold. These are the only two 
cases that I know of one's coming within forty miles of here, 
though Petrels occasionally and little Auks often alight in au- 
turml ft on our ponds and lakes.

terly cold weather when it was taken, 10 to 20 below zero. Mr. Jo n 
Clayton of Lincoln, We. mountdd the other.
