	MORPHOMETRICS OF FLIGHTLESSNESS IN THE ALCIDAE
		Analysis of skeletal measurements revealed that the genera of flightless Alcidae (Pinguinus, Mancalla, Praemancalla, and Alcodes) were characterized by relatively short distal wing elements and dorsoventral flattening of all major wing elements, in combination with relatively large core and pelvic dimensions.
		Although the flightless condition of Pinguinus was noted frequently by early naturalists, particularly with respect to its vulnerability to hunters on land, the anatomical correlates of flightlessness in the Great Auk have received relatively little attention.
		Pinguinus is judged to be closely related to the Razorbill (Alca torda) The Auk 105: 681-698.

	Auk, The: Who Killed the Great Auk?
		The poignant, ethereal images of the penguins of the North Atlantic on the jacket crafted by Errol Fuller, artist and author of The Great Auk (1999), almost compel one to cradle this book.
		Using the Great Auk (Pinguinus impennis) as the medium, Gaskell weaves lore, legend, and human involvement with the species' fate into an historical and geographic essay with implications for extinction, conservation, ignorance, over-harvesting, ethics, environmental responsibility, and legislation to mention some.
		While at times a bit ponderous and tangential, Gaskell demonstrates that the hind-casting of historical exploration and analysis like that of archaeology and paleontology often reward the researcher with new perspectives and on occasion deep understanding-lessons for the present.

		First Record of The Great Auk (Pinguinus Impennis) from Labrador
		Todd (1963: 403) considered that it was not unlikely that the Great Auk "may have strayed to the coast of Labrador," but he showed that there was no sat- isfactory evidence of such an instance.
		The speci- mens from Avayalik Island thus constitute the sole record of Pinguinus impennis from Labrador.
