NOTE BY THE, TRANSEATOR: 
‘¢ Bird Life in Arctic Norway ” was originally written for the 
congress in German, a revised and somewhat condensed edition 
being subsequently published in Norwegian. 
It is this latter edition that, at Professor Collett’s request, I 
have, and I fear very inadequately, translated. However im- 
perfect the result, the attempt has given me much pleasure, as 
some slight acknowledgment of kindnesses shown me by the 
author, in my many migrations through Christiania. 
The appendix was added at the suggestion of Mr. Sclater, 
by whose advice also I have (with the author’s consent) altered 
the synonomy and arrangement of species to accord with the 
British Ornithologists’ Union list, as more convenient for English 
readers. 
I have to thank Mr. T. Southwell, F.Z.S., for kindly looking 
over the proof-sheets, and making many valuable suggestions.
