Bird Notes from Long Id. Wm. Dutcher 
7. Utamania torda (Linn?) Leach. Razor-billed Auk. — January 15, 
1884, I received from a correspondent at Southampton, a specimen of this 
species accompanied by the following note : ‘'The bird I send you was 
found dead on the seashore. It is likely it was drowned in the heavy surf 
we had just before. It was a new bird to me.” February 2, 1884, I re¬ 
ceived another from a correspondent at Smith’s Point, which was also 
found dead on the beach. February 6, 1884, I received still another from 
Southampton, not, however, from the same correspondent who sent me 
the one January 15. With it came the following interesting note: “I 
found this bird on the beach last night while on my patrol, and as it was 
a stranger to this coast I send it. I have been in the Life-Saving Service 
nine years and have never seen one before.” All three birds were 
remarkable for the poor condition they were in, and also for the total ab¬ 
sence of food of any kind in their stomachs.
