502. Gilmore PALLAS MURRE. 1931 Of the former species, were not common. The flight of the murre is strong and swift, making them quite hard to kill in flight. In diving they go under water with a forward image that bring their feet out of the water. The natives has used to gather the eggs in great quantities in years gone by, that lately have ceased to do so. The murre is generally quite pre- garious in flight, and the flocks are easily broken up by the sudden encounter of an obstacle, such as a boat in the line of flight, the tender eg is to get back in line as soon as possible.
