numerous over Barents Sea last year, and were constantly 

 about the ship until we sighted the Norwegian coast. 



40. FULMARUS GLACIALIS, 



Fulmars were only seen at sea off the coasts of Novaya 

 Zemlya and Lutke Laud. 



41. COLYMBUS ADAMSI. 



The only Yellow-billed Diver we saw last year with 

 certainty was in Nameless Bay, and there can be no 

 reasonable doubt about the bird observed in 1895. Previous 

 writers have referred the birds seen to C. glacialis, so that 

 further information will be interesting. 



42. CoLYMBUS ARCTICUS. 



Black-throated Divers were observed on both the north 

 and south of Waigats, and one nest of two eggs was obtained 

 June 30th. The bird was common on Dolgoi. 



43. CoLYMBUS SEPTENTRIONALIS. 



A Red-throated Diver and two young in down were shot 

 on Waigats, July ] 5th ; also at Belushja Bay, July 28th. In 

 both instances it was the male bird that stayed to take 

 care of the young, the female keeping at a safe distance. 

 Two pairs of these birds were seen on Pachtussoff Island, 

 August 6th, but no sign of nest or young. 



44. LoMVIA BRUENNICHI. 



We found the Briinnich Guillemot breeding only on the 

 west coast of Novaya Zemlya, doubtless owing to the fact 

 that the sea on the east side is so rarely free from ice. 



45. Ubia mandti. 



Mandt's Black Guillemots were shot in Dolga Bay and on 

 Pachtussoff Island. A bird of the year was seen in Nameless 

 Bay, August 12th. 



In treating of the birds of Waigats, Novaya Zemlya, and 

 Lutke Land, previous writers have always combined them 

 in one list, with only occasional notes as to the island on 

 which certain species were obtained; so that it is very 

 difficult in most cases to determine the exact locality, and I 

 trust, therefore, that any errors in the following lists may be 

 forgiven. I have always inserted the bird in the division
