   • 1877, Daid Murray Smith, Arctic Expeditions from British and Foreign Shores:

     Ivory gulls and mollemokes were seen farther on. They did not lose sight of the birds after this, as far as they went. The ivory gulls flew very high, but the mollemokes alit, and fed on the water, flying over it well out to sea, as we had seen them do in Baffin Bay.
