hitherto observed in Greenland. 1 1 



48. ^Limosa cegocephala (Linn.). 



Fabricius mentions that he had seen a single specimen (Fn. 

 Gr. p. 107) ; and after his time the bird is said to have been ob- 

 tained once more, nearly forty years back, at Godthaab; the 

 specimen was sent to the Royal Museum, but seems not to have 

 been preserved ; at least, I have not been able to find it. 



49. Tringa canuta, Linn. 



50. Tringa maritima, Briinn. 



51. Tringa cinclus, Linn. 



Probably this species breeds in Greenland ; but, as far as I 

 know, the nest has not yet been found. 



52. Tringa schinzii, Bp. 



53. * Tringa pectoi'alis, Bp. 



The Royal Museum received a specimen of this bird in 1851, 

 the first, I think, ever captured in Greenland. Two more were 

 sent in 1859 fi"om Nenortalik. 



54. * Totanus jiavipes, Lath. 



Pastor Moschler relates that he received a single specimen 

 of this bird from " Greenland " in 1854 (Journ. f. Ornith. 1856, 

 p. 335). I never saw it myself. 



55. Calidris arenaria (Linn.). 



A scarce bird in Greenland; breeds on Disco Island. 



56. Phalaropus fulicarius (Linn.). 



57. Phalaropus hyperboreus (Linn.). 



58. ^Macrorhamphus griseus (Gmel.). 



There is, I believe, only one well-established instance of this 

 Snipe being observed in Greenland, namely at Fiskeneesset in 

 1854 (Ichth. Bidr. p. 20). 



59. Gallinago media, Steph. 



This Snipe has been observed so often in Greenland, that it 

 very likely may in future be found breeding there ; but as yet 

 no eggs have been sent from Greenland, as far as I know. 



60. ^ Ortygometra crex (Linn.). 



I am aware of one case only in which this bird has been mis-
