LIST OF BIRDS COLLECTED IN NORTH GREENLAND BY THE PEARY 



EXPEDITION OF 1891-2 AND THE RELIEF 



EXPEDITION OF 1892. 



BY WITMER STONE. 



In the Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Phila- 

 delphia for 1892, p. 145, I published an annotated list of the birds 

 collected by the West Greenland Expedition which accompanied 

 Lieut. R. E. Peary to Whale Sound in 1891. 



Below will be found lists of the species obtained by tbe Pearv 

 party during their sojourn in North Greenland from July, 1891, to 

 August, 1892, and also of those collected by the Relief Expedition 

 of 1892. 



The former collection was made almost entirely by Mr. Langdon 

 Gibson in the vicinity of the Peary winter quarters 1 and the latter 

 by Mr. Charles E. Hite at about the same points visited by the 

 Expedition of 1891. All the specimens, numbering 122, are in the 

 collection of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. 2 



The second Peary Expedition and the Relief Expedition of 1894, 

 so far as I am aware, made no collection of birds.

% This paper has been delayed in the hope of obtaining field notes from some 

 of the members of the expedition, but failing in this I have thought best to pub- 

 lish it as it is.
