Kittlitz Murrelet

When Captain Kleinschmidt shot his first KITTLITZ MURRELET in Bering Sea ice, an Eskimo said, "Him lay egg 'way up in snow on mountain." I ridiculed the idea but later facts prove the statement correct. The two eggs in the Thayer museum are glaucous yellow with dark brown spots over entire surface.
