uk. Towardthe last it was difficult to shoot, as it had learned to dive atthe flash of a gun. It seems to have been easily frightenedby noise, but not so much by what it saw; for Grieve tells usthat in 1812, near Orkney, one was enticed to a boat by hold-ing out fish, and was killed with an oar. The Auk swam withhead lifted, but neck drawn in, ready to dive instantly at thefirst alarm. Its notes were gurgles and harsh croaks. On itsisland home it stood or rather sat erect, as its legs were farback. It laid but one egg. It never defended its egg, butbit fiercely when caught. Its food is believed to have been mainly fish; but Fabri-cius found, in the stomach of a young bird, rose root (Sedumrhodoriola) and other littoral vegetation, but no fish. Roseroot grows in the crevices of sea cliffs. Grieve, however,doubts whether the bird taken by Fabricius was of this species. « Allen, J. A.: Amer. Nat., 1876, Vol. X, p. 48. 2 Grieve, Symington: The Great Auk, supplementary note, 1897, p. 26t.
