Killed June 30, on the west coast of Greenland, in lat. 71"- The 

 rich chesnut marking on the throat is conical in shape, having the 

 apex, which is sharply pointed, at the throat, and the base resting 

 on the white of the breast; the back of the specimen is slightly

Abundant on the coast of Greenland. In the accounts of the 

 authors who have been cited, a difference is observable in the de- 

 scription of the colour of the forehead of this species: by some 

 it is represented as white, and by others as black : the specimens
