Figures : Dresser, Birds of Europe, vi. pi. 388. The Common Cormorant appears to be a resident in the Southern Japanese Islands (Blakiston and Prycr, Ibis, 1878, p. 21G), but it has been so much confused with Temminek's Cormorant that its exact range is difficult to determine. There are no skins in the Swinhoe collection from Ilakodadi, but there are two in the Pryer collection from Yokohama. The Perry Expedition found it very common in the Bay of Ycdo (Cassin, Exp. Am. Squad. China Seas and Japan, ii. p. 234), and the Siebold Expedition obtained it at Nagasaki (Temminck and Schlegel, Fauna Japonica, Aves, p. 129). The breeding-range of the Common Cormorant extends from the British Islands across Europe and both Northern and JSouthern Asia to Japan.
