[edit]
my notes are in [single square brackets]

Thick-billed Guillemot [...] the Atlantic bird is called Lomvia arra svarbag, and the Pacific simply L. arra, but under the system of nomenclature followed in the "Key" the Atlantic should have been called Lomvia svarbag and the Pacific Lomvia svarbag arra, as Pallas's name is later than that given by Brünnich. [In old literature, the name "Lomvia arra" is quote common, often scanno'ed by Google as "Lomria arra". The bird is now called Uria lomvia or Uria lomvia arra.]
