34. Chapman (F. M.) on the Birds of Greenland. 



[Report on Birds received tliroug-li the Peary Expeditions to Greenland. 

 By Frank M. Chapman. Bull. Am. INIus. N. II. xii. pp. 219-244 (1890).] 



]V[r. Chapman reports on three collections of birds made 

 during the recent Peary expeditions to Greenland, and pre- 

 sented to the American JMuseum of Natural History by 

 jMr. JVI. K. Jesup. The ' Peary ^ collection contains 82 

 specimens obtained at various localities ; in the ' Dyche ' 

 collection are 244 specimens acquired by Professor L. L. 

 Dyche during the Peary Expedition of 1895 ; and in the 

 " Figgins " collection are 162 specimens collected by IVTr. J. 

 D. Figgins, who was naturalist to the Peary Expedition of 

 1890. The whole series, comprising about 500 specimens, 

 is referred by the writer to 48 species, none of which — as 

 might have heen anticipated — are new to science ; but many 

 of them are of great interest, as they are examples of birds 

 in immature plumages or changes of dress which are not 

 often obtained. IVTr. Figgins's excellent field-notes are 

 indicated by his initials.
