Note 4 — THE BIRD-BERGS OF LAPLAND.
Margaret R. Thomson translation
[Note 4] p. 57.—Auks.
A graphic description of the King-auks (Alle alle), which breed in Spitzbergen, is given by Nordenskiöld in the work above mentioned.
The name auk is oftenest applied only to the razor-bills, but is also used collectively for other members of the family Alcidæ, such as guillemots and puffins.
