The True Auks,
found only in the North Atlantic, are represented by three species, each placed in a genus by itself. Two of them, the Razor-bill and the extinct Great Auk, are characterized by a very deep and much-compressed bill, with one or both of the mandibles transversely or obliquely grooved, while the other, known as the Dovekie or Sea Dove, has the bill very short and broad and is otherwise very distinct.
