Murres
Approaching rather closely to the Razor-billed Auk in staicture, plumage, and habits are the Murres and Guillemots, each represented by four or five species and subspecies.
The Murres (Uria) are easily distinguished from the typical Auks by possessing a narrow bill destitute of grooves, and from the Guillemots in having the nostrils completely concealed within a dense, velvety feathering. Both are represented in the North Atlantic and North Pacific.
