hitherto observed in Greenland. 5 



other to the southern part of that country, there is, I believe, 

 no reason to suppose. 



3. Falco peregrinus, Linn. 



Not so common as the former. I think there is no difference 

 between the Peregrine from Greenland and the European one ; 

 but I am not competent to express an opinion as to the distinction 

 between F. peregrinus and F. anatum. 



4. Nyctea nivea (Thunb.). 



Very common : in summer more numerous in the northern 

 than in the southern part of Greenland. 



5. Otus brachyotus (Gmel.). 

 A scarce bird in Greenland. 



6. ^Hirundo rufa, Bp. 



Nearly thirty years ago a specimen was obtained at Fiskensesset 

 by the late botanist Dr. Vahl, and sent to the Royal Museum. 

 A second was shot at Nenortalik and procured for the Royal 

 Museum in 1856. As far as I am informed, these two speci- 

 mens are the only ones ever met with in Greenland. 



7. ^Troglodytes palustris, Wils. 



Only one specimen has been obtained (in May 1823, at Godt- 

 haab), and sent to the Royal Museum. 



8. ^Regulus calendula (Linn.). 



A very recent addition to the Avifauna of Greenland, a dried- 

 up specimen in the flesh having been sent to the Royal Museum 

 last year from Nenortalik. t 



9. Saxicola (ENANThe (Linn.). 



10. *Mniotilta coronata (Linn.). 



I know of three instances in which this bird has been ob- 

 tained in South Greenland during the last twenty years. The 

 specimens are in the Royal Museum. 



11. ^Mniotilta virens (Gmel.). 



A specimen sent from Julianehaab in 1853 to the late Mr. 

 Steenberg, and presented by him to the Royal Museum, is the 

 only one which has come under my notice.
