I have met with iton one occasion only on the Cleveland coast, on 17th September1883, a fine calm day ; it was resting on the water, and atfirst I thought it was a Skua, but discovered my error onhandling the bird, which fought and scratched with its clawsas savagely as the Pomatorhine Skuas did in 1879.
